Seattle Part 2

Sadly, my trip to Seattle has come to an end, but I wanted to highlight some of the places we ate at and visited just in case any of you make a trip over sometime soon!


Chihuly Garden and Glass - an exhibition of Dale Chihuly's hand blown glass installations. The exhibition is really spectacular, and something very unique to Seattle

We took a trip to do a very mild 3-mile hike at Olallie State Park (roughly 45 minutes outside Seattle)


Twin Peak Falls at Olallie State Park


We spent a lovely morning at Gas Works Park; we got a great view of the city and watched seaplanes take off


Off to the side of Gas Works Park, we were able to see houseboats! How unique of Seattle...


At the Future of Flight - Aviation Center and Boeing Tour in Everett, WA. This is the site where they manufacture all of Boeing's 737, 747, 777, 787 models. This is one of the coolest things I've ever done!


This is a layout of the building (listed as the largest building in the world by Guiness Book of World Records) and which planes are manufactured in which parts of the building. All the 787's that have been recalled are at this site.
