Washington State

I would have to say Washington is my number 2 favorite place I have ever visited. It is absolutely beautiful, almost breathtaking! We went to Pike Place Market and did some shopping. We went to a glass blowing museum, and went up in the Space Needle. I got to meet my cousin's Tinker, Dave, Chrissy, Melissa, Jason, Paula, Emma, Olivia, and Jacob.

Washington Fact: Mt Rainer is actually an "inactive" volcano. You can see it from anywhere in Seattle, Tacoma, and Puyallap. It's massive and beautiful. 

Things I found interesting:
 1.  Lots of buildings had "Tornado Shelter" signs. I wasn't aware Washington got many tornado's..... this did not help my anxiety!
 2.  There were also lots of signs that read "volcano eruption evacuation route" just in case the Inactive became Active!
 3.  Their interstates have an exit not only on the right but on the left too, its very confusing.
 4.  Our GPS did not know its way around Seattle or Tacoma. It was really annoying.
 5.  They had lots of one way streets with this sign......bizarre!

Pike Place Market was fun. It had lots of individual vendors selling their crafty things, and of course a fish market.

I took this picture for Patrick. Alaskan King Crab, Deadliest Catch style :D



The Glass Blowing museum was pretty cool too. We wanted to blow glass ourselves but we werent allowed :(

I really enjoyed the space needle. I thought I would be scared since it was so high up, but I surprised myself and even stood right by the windows going up in the elevator.
