Day 14 Seattle

Slept in this morning then had breakfast atop the Seattle Hilton with its beautiful views of the city. Walked up a few blocks to the Columbia Building which is 400 feet taller than the Space Needle. Beautiful views of the entire city and were awed by the view of the majestic Mt. Rainier. Then off to Pikes Public Market, a massive waterfront market with thousands of vendors selling everything imaginable...Fresh fish, flowers, fruits, vegetables, coffee, artwork, foods from all over the world. You could spend hours if not days taking it all in. Caught the monorail to Seattle Center and went up in the Space Needle....this is the 50th anniversary of the Seattle World's Fair. More expansive views of the city and Puget Sound. To cap off this fabulous trip to the Pacific Northwest we met my Washington cousins, Mike & Cheryl Cummins and Mary Jane and Pete Swindley for a casual dinner. What a great family reunion! Off to bed for a good night's sleep because tomorrow is travel day home to the Tarheel State!
