Seattle 2016

So now we are off the cruise ship, out of Alaska, and in Seattle.  Our hotel was within walking distance of the Pike Street Public Market, so we headed out for a walk.

This is the famous fish market, where they throw the fist around when you buy them.  I think in my closet in NH I have a picture of my favorite cousin named Danny and me in this same spot.  I'll have to look for it this winter when we go home.

Another Man VS Food spot... the Crab Pot.  We are about to head inside. 

At the Crab Pot they have about 30 different micro brews, and more than that in bottles, but when you are in Seattle, you have to have at least one Rainier, the PBR of Washington. 

The "Famous Seafest" comes in a big metal bowl (or two), which is dumped on the table.  We got three types of crab, steamers, scallops, potatoes, and corn on the cob; also, four bibs, hammers, and crab poker things. 

Cheers!

In the battle of Man VS Food, we won! 

Next day.  We are taking the Seattle Tram elevated rail to the Space Needle.  

The Space Needle is really cute, and it is amazing to think that it was built back in the 1960s.  

Next to the Space Needle is a glass blowing museum,

and a park.

We were only there a few days, but we had a great time.  The kids also got to try their first Twinkie!  They agreed that one was enough.

Our last view of glaciers and ice covered lands... until this winter!  What an amazing trip.
