Seattle

since it was my holidays this past week, my friend maria decided we should go to seattle for a few days...what a great idea... it was such a blast. we first went to pike place market... this is where they throw the fish...here is the guy catching the fish. there was some pretty cool things there. unfortunately most of the booths had seafood, flowers and fruit...all of which are hard to keep and then cross the border with. but it was fun looking around all the different shops and stalls.

then we decided to go to the space needle... totally amazing. this picture is of a guy that is just strapped in and walking along the edge of the space needle. they said he was inspecting it and making sure there were no screws loose or anything that would be dangerous. if it was me doing that job, i would be in overalls or in something a bit cooler...he on the other hand is in slack and a nice top with dress shoes...but i guess whatever you are comfortable in is what you want to be working in...especially at that height.

the seattle sky line. very pretty...what a clear day.

maria, annika and i, on the top of the space needle. i just cant get over how beautiful the view is.

this is the komo news 4 chopper. i just thought it was cool to see it parked. i mean i see it on tv sometimes and now i saw it in person...i feel like im talking about someone famous...but im not...lol. well that pic was taken from the space needle and it was just neat to see everything from so far above it.

the space needle from the ground. we sat down in the shade for a bit and it was neat to see how far up we were just a few minutes before.

this is at the hotel. we had just finished swimming and we were getting ready to go to bed. cutie pie annika just didnt feel like sleeping and decided to be cute. she was lying beside her mom watching tv with us and was just sooo adorable.
