It's a beautiful day in Seattle!

We arrived in Seattle late on Tuesday night, very very tired.  It had been a hectic few days and we were just grateful to arrive at our apartment all in one piece and without incident!

The weather forecast for the duration of our stay was not good to say the least!

However, we wake up and find that the skies are relatively clear and the day looks quite promising!

The clear skies mean one thing!  Head to the Space Needle as fast as possible to take photos!  (I vaguely recall planning to do absolutely nothing on day 1 but rest).  However, do nothing, doesn't come easily to us, so it's off to the tower!

Here are my 3 favourite photos, all taken very quickly in case the rain came, but it didn't in fact rain all day!

Next a quick trip to Chiluly gardens.  Seattle is the home of Chiluly!

After Chiluly, we headed over to the Pike Market, the number one tourist attraction in Seattle.  It is 5 floors of funkiness, and quite frankly torture if you are travelling with zero spare luggage space!

An excellent day today! (And tomorrow we rest!)
