Pacific NW, Part 1

We spent all of last week in the Pacific Northwest, and we couldn't have had better weather. It was sunny and cool, the perfect weather for viewing Seattle from the Space Needle.


From the viewing deck there were beautiful views of Puget Sound, Lake Union, and Downtown Seattle.


Fortunately that day, it was Fred Meyer day at the Pacific Science Center, so admission was free (thanks Fred!). The exhibits were incredible, from a giant playable acoustic guitar, to the Mindbender Mansion, where you solved various puzzles, to a real meteor that you could lift, but by far the most impressive thing to do was the Butterfly Room, a huge greenhouse that was filled with butterflies flying all around you. A butterfly landed on my daughter's hand and stayed there for a long time!



That evening we had dinner at Genki Sushi, where there were salmon heads decorating the wall.
