This blog was started to keep friends and family posted on 3 of my siblings, my mom, and me during our 3-month US tour of The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe during the summer of 2009. I am attending Union University this fall and will (hopefully!) be sharing my college adventures.

Day 18: Portland, OR, to Seattle, WA
(pictures added 2-3-10, text unaltered)
Today was Jonathan's and Mr. Payne's birthday.
Jonathan is 15 now, and Mr. Payne is 1 year older than he was. We had a nice lunch at a Thai restaurant for their birthdays.
Tonight we are staying at a hotel called the Red Lion Hotel at Bellevue, which is just outside of Seattle. This place is really nice.
We have 2 nights here, and no show in Seattle, which means we have a whole free day tomorrow. (yyyeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!) I think we will go to see the Olympic mountains. I hear there is a ferry ride across the river and then a hour and a half drive into the mountains. Should be cool.
Today we went to see the Space Needle. It was sooo cool.
We got to go up to the very top and look around.
The building looked like the future as seen from the 60's or 70's. The Needle was built for the 1962 world fair. There was a huge gift shop...with huge prices!! I got some postcards and a shirt.
Well, today was just driving and eating and going to the Space Needle and now about to be showering and sleeping. Nothing really exciting (except the Needle, but I already told you about that). So, I'll be going now...there will be lots of mountain pictures tomorrow!!
Well, I had some pictures to go on this post, but I'm having trouble uploading them, so I'll try to get them up tomorrow. :)
