Space and Science

The second item on our touristy city pass was the Space Needle. Your ticket is good for two visits in a twenty-four hour period, so we went up in early afternoon and after sunset. The view was pretty nice, but I'm a bigger fan of our commemorative photos:

The third stop was the Pacific Science Center, which was hosting King Tut for his last time in North America. Unfortunately that counted as a special exhibit and cost extra. We were really only at the museum because we had free entry, and therefore were too cheap to pay to see the Tut. The rest of the museum is geared towards children, so you know we had a blast!
We saw:

Butterflies

Oversized Furniture

and, our favorite… Naked Mole Rats

Our day's coffee was consumed with a late breakfast at the Hi Spot. We parked on a residential street a few blocks away, in front of the house I will one day own.

  3. Oh my god, I don't know what's going on with that porch but I want it to be mine! Especially if we could get a matching left hand coming out the other side of the porch and holding a beer.

    1. I was thinking I'd recreate his beer hat as the attic, with the "cans" being turrets and the "straws" being spiral staircases, and the left hand scratching his basement/butt.

  4. the naked mole rats must be very blind that they just squeeze each other and seem to have chaos in every action!!!

    Your photos are hilarious. I have never seen you looking so small before . . why do people make such large furniture?
