SEATTLE – DAY #2

From Aberdeen to Seattle – by way of Bremerton – what a trip -and by ferry: On day #2 we left Aberdeen early morning, drove to Bremerton and took the Ferry to Seattle: What a beautiful trip . .

We drove form Aberdeen to Bremerton, home of Puget Sound Navel Shipyard: Puget Sound Naval Shipyard is the largest and most diverse shipyard on the West Coast: This is where we boarded the ferry to Seattle.

Ferry arriving, back ground . . .

Waiting for us to board:

Early morning sun:

Some housing along the sound:

West Seattle on the right, we loved the condos:

And now – the skyline coming into view:

Closer:

And finally – our destination for lunch and what a lunch it was:

The two sports stadiums on the sound, football, Seattle Seahawks, and baseball, Seattle Mariners. – Football on the left, baseball, right:

The Space Needle, as seen from the ground, Susie wondering what i’m doing on the ground:

Jim & Marilyn:

View from the “Needle”: One complete revolution every 47 minutes. We were their for maybe 1 – 1/2 revolutions.

Tankers waiting in the harbour, note mountains in the background:

Upon leaving the “needle” one notices that these bolts actually are what hold the tower togeather. They are maybe 12 inches across. I thought, what a hoot to loosen a couple. The thought lasted only an instant:

Sam outside the needle – Susie kinda thought i looked like a **** between 2 balls. O well you be the judge _

Okay – so much for a day – many more comming.

Uncle Sam I Am . . .
