Downtown Seattle
We took the bus downtown from Woodinville, it was the express bus, but it was still a long ride. It was a bendy bus, whenever the bus turned a corner the kids would swivel around.
The space needle from the I-5.
A parking enforcement vehicle.
There were a bunch of these vehicles driving through the downtown area.
A walking clam.
Our first stop was the Pike Place Market.
The girls and Jesse posing on the pig.
Some of the sights from the market.
We found the very first Starbucks.
Gillian and Angela all excited about ordering from the first Startbucks.
It was crowded.
Waiting for their order to be called out.
Angela carried her empty cup around the whole day because she wanted to save it.

Pike Place and Pike Street.
The gum wall down one of the alleys near Pike Place Market.
Close-up gum shot.
This wall is just covered with ABC (already been chewed) gum. And people just keep adding to the collection.
We marked ours with some Canadian gum.
It was back up to the fish market to watch them throw around some salmon (just under the sign).
They were trying to find a 14-15 lb fish, so they would throw one up and weigh it, but it was too small so it was thrown back.
Big tongue sticking out
Shanna bought some crab for dinner, in the middle of the picture is the crab being tossed.
Another pig towards the waterfront.
We walked along the waterfront for awhile and then we took the bus up to Chinatown.
Angela and Claudia with Christopher Columbus.
A pirate in one of the stores.
How big of fish could you catch with this lure?
A giant stuffed penguin, good thing it wasn't for sale.
The dragons wrapped around the light poles in Chinatown.
Our last stop was Uwajimaya.
