After a couple of months spent living on the land, foraging for food and being off the grid, we decided to spend a day being tourists in Seattle and living like city folks.
First up was the Space Needle where we went into space 502 feet to the Observation Deck for great views of Seattle, Mount Rainier and the Cascade Mountains.
Our next stop was Chihuly Garden and Glass, which was Tom's favorite part of the day. It is an exhibit at the Seattle Center of Dale Chihuly's glass sculptures and works. And it is amazing. If you go to Seattle, you don't want to miss this.
Our last stop was Leslie's favorite: The Museum of Pop Culture. It is a non-profit museum for pop culture, including music, science fiction, video games, fantasy and horror movies. There were exhibits about Nirvana and Jimi Hendrix and a Sound Lab where you could play instruments if you wish. Of course we wished.
We camped at Saltwater State Park in Des Moines, WA. If you need a place to camp that is close to downtown Seattle, it will do. Otherwise, you will probably want to just pass on by this place. (although you can pick delicious blackberries at your campsite...)
We will pack up in the morning and head back to the wilderness and hope to see you there!
I forgot to mention that the campground is conveniently located by the airport so you can expect the roar of a jet engine approximately every two minutes.
