Seattle Round 3

As our journey through Seattle continues we decided to take things up a notch!  On Tuesday I slept in again while Fancy did his work thing.... more meetings.  Literally… Trey booked us a seaplane tour over Seattle and to the San Juan Islands.  Talk about wow!!!!  Happy Birthday to Trey!

 Always has his phone handy!

 I think he was more nervous than I was.

 The pilot announced all the rules and housekeeping info then told us he had been doing this for 13 years and only 1 person had gotten sick on a flight.  I told Trey I might be #2.

 The map I was studying to see our route.

 Slightly different view than Mayberry...

 Trey got to play co-pilot

 So after the ride I needed to lie down.  All the fancy maneuvering, landings, and take offs made me feel like I had been on a roller coaster.  Then it was off to dinner.

 Back to the market to eat at a delicious steak house.

Naturally, our friends and local tour guides accompanied us to eat which was also a celebration of Trey’s 35^th birthday.  I told the waiter it was his big day so we sang to him!!!

 On Wednesday morning I decided to sleep in, yet again....while Trey went to meetings!   Upon his return I asked if he brought me some unsweetened tea.  Since he "forgot" he called downstairs for room service.  All I needed was some tea, but I got the works for $10.96.   Most expensive tea I've ever had!

 Since it was our last day in Seattle so we decided to take it easy and see some more sights.  Lunch was a must of course!

 And here she is my friends.  Here she is!!!!!  The Duck Tour which I waited ALL week to ride.  Trey was everything but excited and started the journey off a bit stiff.  I figured it was a good birthday present... better than the plane ride, right!?!?!

 Notice his excitement!

 He said I was dressed like a momma.  Mind you, I am a momma!!!  It was cold.  I had to piece together what I could!

Took the tour to the water

 I worried we might sink.  Not lying.

 There's the Sleepless in Seattle house.

 Stupid things amaze me.  They do.  This is the line for the "original" Starbucks.  That's dumb.  Why wait an hour for a coffee just like the one around the corner.  Mind you that Seattle houses 115 Starbucks shops.

 Wednesday night we went to the Space Needle for a Legislative Convention Party, if you will.  Trey and his pal, Scott.

 Everyone should have their picture taken with a clam, right?!?!?

 After the needle we headed back up top to the pool for a final view before bed.

 It was nice people.  It was nice!

 I found some slippers next to my bed every night.

 Thursday morning we got up at 3:00 AM, left the hotel by 4:00 AM, and our plane left at 5:45 AM headed to the promise land.  When we got up in the air we could still see the mountains.  Soooooo beautiful.

Staying in contact with the outside world... at all times!

Thanks for a good time and a lot of walking Seattle!
