The Seattle Experience



Today we walked to Pike's Market Place, and enjoyed a blast to the senses: displays of fresh seafood and flowers as well as sampling of the regional offerings: cherries,
cheese, preserves and hot sauces. Then we caught the monorail to the Space Needle and enjoyed a panoramic view of the city. Next was a visit to the Science Fiction Museum (Night of the Triffids! R2D2, Yoda and the Alien!) and finally, the Music Experience Project (Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and much, much more). On our way back, we spotted a Pumpkin Experience hosted by Starbuck's (did you know Starbuck's started in Seattle?) and took pictures with a 300 pound carved pumpkin and enjoyed some pumpkin pie spice latte.
