Seattle

We had a great time in Seattle. It's absolutely beautiful in Washington and Canada and we wished we would have had more time there. We were able to take a boat to Victoria, British Columbia, see a Mariner's game, visit Pike Public Market, the piers, and eat plenty of king crab legs.

Pike Public Market where Tom Hanks stood in Sleepless in Seattle.

If you buy a fish at the market, they sing, throw it around, wrap it up and then toss it to you.
We took a two hour boat cruise over to Canada to visit Victoria.
The Parliment building in Victoria, British Columbia. Brian's favorite thing about Canda is the Cuban cigars.

We visited Butchart Gardens while in Victoria.

During our two hour ride over, we passed the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln in Puget Sound. The ship had just returned from Iraq and was heading back out to sea.

Like I said we ate crab legs...twice.

Despite how gray some of the pictures may look, it only rained a few hours one day while we were there. It was cold in Canada, but the sun came out in the afternoon. In Seattle, the weather was mild in the high 50's to low 60's everyday. It was cloudy and cool in the mornings but the sun always came out in the afternoons. We had a great time and cannot wait to go back someday. We did not get a chance to see Mt. Rainer, The Space Needle, go whale watching and many other things on our list left to do.
