Seattle RAW, Day 15 and 16

As I write this, waiting at the gate for our flight to board, I'm sad that vacation is over; Mom and I are also glad to be heading home. Traveling is wonderful, but there's no place like home.

Yesterday was a slow picture day. It was a foggy, rainy morning, so Mom let me sleep in. We still made it to the Space Needle in time for a nice brunch.

Brunch was s pricey but good: $45 for each person and includes an appetizer, entree, and desert. We had to take the desert to go because Mom's entree was enough desert for the both of us: Hazelnut crusted french toast with espresso flavored whipped cream. And really the view is worth it. You have to have a meal at the Space Needle at least once I think.

We had to cancel our sailing trip due to the weather, but spent extra time exploring the Pike Place Market. And I did actually get a picture of some native wildlife (picture 150). Much like the owl picture, I was surprised when I saw it, but then my camera-reflexes took over. My favorite thing about the market was the pepper store (last picture). If we didn't have to fly home, I would have bought some for sure. They did a beautiful job stringing them together.

Mom and I are on the plane now, so I'll publish this while I can. We upgraded to first class, so it should be a nice flight home!

Three new pictures.
