I think what amazed me most about the Seattle Space needle was that it was built for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. I just don't think of anything during that period as being so high tech.
I guess what was happening during the 'space race' as proclaimed by JFK.
The Space Needle has a very interesting history that started with the inspiration by the President of a hotel chain that started with a drawing on a placemat in a coffee house.
On my recent trip to Seattle, my dad and I ventured to Snoqualmie Falls. On the ride back, we missed the turn off for the interstate.It was a fortunate occurrence because we discovered George's Bakery in North Bend. (Yummy glazed donuts). We also discovered the Snoqualmie Centennial Pavilion that housed a massive slice of a redwood tree.
You can tell the tree is pretty big, but considering my dad is about 6'4", it gives it an even greater sense of perspective.
Sometimes, getting lost is the best way to find great things.
During my trip to Pike Place Market in Seattle, I noticed this amazing looking Lobster tails. I thought these were really beautiful and the display looked amazing.
| I recently made a trip to Seattle with my dad for a wedding. As part of our trip, we made the trip to Pike Place Market. It is an incredible place. The sign outside of the building is pretty famous. I loved the sign for Fresh Fish inside of the market. |
I made a trip to Seattle with my dad for a family wedding. On Saturday, we went to Snoqualmie Falls about 20 miles outside of Seattle. What I hadn't realized until we go there is that is was the famous falls from Twin Peaks.
Are you old enough to remember that show?
At any rate, it was a really beautiful day and we managed to catch a rainbow on the river from the slight misting rain that was falling that day.
The weather is amazing and people are out in full green dress.
I particularly like the little hat this man had on. Of course, he was probably text messaging his friends to make plans for later today. Did I mention that I took this while I was out at lunch?
While I was getting money from the ATM at the Harbor Inn (Cleveland's Oldest Bar), I noticed this menu sign.
Not only was Grilled Chicken spelled incorrectly, someone actually put 'Spelling Check' on the sign.
Ah - the good old days of manual editing.
