Cruise

After our visit to the Aquarium we hopped on over to Pier 55 and jumped onto an Argosy Cruise. It was a quick little tour of the Seattle area by sea.  I highly recommend taking a little cruise, unless you get sea sick.  Then it’s probably not for you. The Seattle views are just beautiful.  This is the famous Edgewater Inn.  I’ve never stayed here, but I’ve heard it’s pretty neat.  Apparently, there is a photo, in Time Magazine, of the Beatles, who once stayed here, fishing out of their window.  Pretty cool, huh?  It was built for the World Fair way back when only it was finished in time. That little round globe is the Seattle Post Intelligencer.  Seattle’s first newspaper, which is now obsolete.  It does however, still appear online, I think.This is the famous Space Needle.  Also a must see for a tourist. Navy ship?  I don’t know, but it’s huge and cool. This is Mount Rainier.  I have to be honest when I say it’s just gorgeous.  Although we live near and can see the Rockies Mountains from our house the view just isn’t the same as seeing Mount Rainier.  Perhaps it is because it’s just one mountain?  Don’t know about that one.

Ferry boats.  I love ferry boats.  If you don’t take an Argosy Cruise you could ride a ferry boat.  It’s just as fun!  There you have it.  A small little look into Seattle.  Makes you want to visit doesn’t it?  It makes me want to go back again.
