Seattle Adventures: Part 2; pastries, fiction, locks

For breakfast we ate at a little Greek restaurant where the hostess was super excited about Magnus. She brought him potatoes and a little toy. for second breakfast, we went to the Danish Bakery and got some very delicious pastries for later. Cheryl also got a marzipan pig, because they are adorable.

Cheryl wanted to go to the Music Experience Museum at the Seattle Center. We have never been. It is a really oddly shaped building.

It even has the monorail going through it.

I was taking pictures of this colorful wall, trying to angle the camera so I could get the reflection of the Space Needle, when someone came to see what I was doing…

They were having an exhibit on the Icons of Science Fiction, so they had a lot of things from science fiction TV and movies.

How many shapes can you identify?

Magnus being Superman and being in awe of Captain Kirks actual chair.

Next stop: Pike Place Market. We had piroshky, saw fish being thrown, and a man playing “Memory” on a saw…

We all had fun wandering around the waterfront, especially Magnus.

To finish the day we went to the locks and watched a boat go through. I really like seeing how they use water to essentially make a boat elevator. We also saw a fish in the fish ladder, but Magnus thought that was the greatest.

It was a good trip to Seattle, but we were happy to head home to get ready for more adventures with Cheryl…
