Lindsay and I at the Space Needle

It's a long way up!

We all work up this morning feeling much more rested and ready to start our only full day in Seattle. The Celebrity Infinity (otherwise known as Brand “X”) is docked across the street and there is an RCL ship at the dock we will leave from tomorrow at Pier 91. We had breakfast in the hotel then got a cab to the Space Needle. It is a beautiful sunny day at the moment although there are lots of fluffy clouds and the prediction is a 60% chance of rain today. The area around the Space Needle is beautiful and full of things to see with a Science Museum, park with sculptures and botanical gardens and the Chihully Glass Exhibit and Gardens. We walked through the botanical gardens then through the shops at the Space Needle then went to the Chihully Exhibit. This was beautiful and Lindsay loved it as much as Debbie and I did. She wasn’t interested in going to the top of the needle as she is not big on heights but even worse on elevators but I am not going to put it all on her. Just looking up and taking pictures made me dizzy and with the clouds moving past gave the illusion that it was moving…OMG! We took the Monorail back to downtown and went to a grocery store we were told about to get some things we wanted to carry on ship for Lindsay since she has the nut allergy. When we got back to the hotel we went to Pike’s again and Lindsay got to see the fish fly again and then we bought some flowers to take on the ship tomorrow. We watched the Infinity sail away and then headed to dinner. We made reservations at a place called Elliot’s on the water but Lindsay was not comfortable with the dining options so we left. Debbie and I got take out there and then got her something at another place and we ate in the hotel room. It worked out fine as we were trying to get organized and repacked for tomorrow. Lindsay and Debbie are all showered and in bed and I will be as soon as I finish this. This hotel is old and there is no internet but there is wifi in the lobby so I will post this in the morning when we go to breakfast. It was a fun day and I think Lindsay had a great time. She is sound asleep.
