Happy Halloween to everyone! Yesterday was, in fact, our first visit to the actual city of Seattle. We drove across Lake Washington on the "floating bridge." It was a pleasant drive on a very mild fall day. We spent the afternoon at the Pacific Science Center, under the shadow of the Space Needle. It was great children's museum, with lots of great exhibits. We were able to get in free with our East Tennessee Discovery Center membership. (Having Zoo, science center, national parks membership pays off when you are doing a lot of travelling.) The Center was so extensive we were not able to do it all in one day. We decided to walk down to the shoreline, where we found a Spaghetti Factory, but will come back soon to see the rest of the museum and travel up the Space Needle.
Question: What do the Seattle Space Needle and the Knoxville Sunsphere share in common? Post your answers in the comments.
Saturday we spent in the great outdoors - at a pumpkin farm and corn maze in Redmond. We have been noticing how much more ethnically diverse the population is here, more than any place we have lived in before. I am especially aware of this more in a rural setting such as this farm. In my experience, those places are usually more "white bread," but that is definitely not the case here. We bought some pumpkins which we will be carving tonight.
