We went to see the Hawaiin Chieftan and the Lady Washington while we were in Seattle. They come by our town every year and each time we miss it. So what fun to check them out while on vacation!!Did you realize that you kid could get a summer job sailing these from port to port between California and Canada? What fun!! Unfortunatly they were docked right next to the sea planes. The kids spent most of their time on the boat watching the sea planes take off and land over and over again. Oh well (sigh)...it was free and again, something that we never have gotten to see!
Then we rode the streetcar in a loop - and watched all the construction in Seattle. If you want to see cranes and cement mixers this is the place. After that we hopped over to the Monorail ... which takes you from the Space Needle to downtown Seattle. Hard to avoid all the tourist stuff there! It looked like any city in USA. The next day at the same time the monorail broke down and the tourists were stuck for two hours while the city tried to figure out how to rescue them!
