We had a very full day! Gina joined us, and we took the bus from Bellevue Downtown.
First stop: Crumpets at The Crumpet Shop in Pike Place. So yummy!!
After breakfast, we walked to the Monorail Station in Westlake and took the Monorail to Seattle Center. The monorail was built for the 1962 World's Fair, and is a really fun and convenient way to get there.
As soon as we walked off the Monorail, we were greeted by the Dark Lord of the Sith, and a very friendly Stormtrooper. It was a photo opp waiting to happen. :)
We went to the top of the Space Needle for about 45 minutes. It was a pretty nice day - not nearly as smokey as it had been over the weekend. We were even able to see a tiny bit of Mt. Rainier peeking through. Miguel entered his and David's name into their guestbook.
After our Space Needle Space Needle visit, we went to the Chihuly Garden and Glass Exhibit. It was the first time for David, Miguel and Gina, so a really nice treat for all! Again, so many photo opportunities - I didn't take any (since I had been several times) but the other three got some really nice photos.
We had a very nice lunch at the Cafe of the Chihuly Gardens, then headed over to the EMP Museum. David, and especially Miguel, are huge Star Wars fans, so I wanted to make sure that we got to see the Star Wars Costume Exhibit while they were here.
We spent plenty of time at the Star Wars Exhibit and gift shop, then visited the Fantasy Exhibit before heading back home in the late afternoon.
