We arrived around 1 pm to Kent thinking we might escape the heat. However we drove straight into the record high for the Seattle area! We stayed with my "cousin" Joe who lives in Kent, and he took us immediately out to the well air conditioned Experiance Music Project & Science Fiction Museum. It has recording studios, and wonderful exhibits for music and sci-fi. The summer exhibit was featuring Jim Hensen. The best piece in the entire museum was the tree of life by The Fountain which is Ryan's favorite movie! Sort of a dream come true.After the museum we went to the top of the Space Needle for viewing deck fun.
JULY 30th - Hiking Shopping Touring
We went hiking in Snoqualmie to see the Snoqualmie Falls. It is a 1 mile hike that is super steep but worth the view. Then we went back into Seattle for the Underground tour of the city. It describes the history of Seattle by showing its cultural build up. Then we found Elliott Bay Cafe which was the cafe that inspired the frequented set cafe on the show Frasier.After some shopping we went back to the house so that Ryan could get his guitar. Then we went out to Whiskey Bar & Ryan got to play 2 sets for their open mic night. It was really fun, and to add to the excitement one of my high school friends came to meet up with us.
JULY 31st - Day of Rest
We just relaxed and then saw Funny People. It was really good!
AUGUST 1st - Whale Day!
Today we saw over 30 whales. My cousin booked a boat trip that takes about 6 hours. So it was our plan for the majority of the day. It is not guaranteed that we would see any whales, but we got so lucky. It was a beautiful ride and a nice break from all the heat. After watching we had dinner and called it a night, being on a boat can be exhausting.
