Today, we lounged around the hotel for a large portion of the morning. The boys finished their school work and we browsed some of the nearby shops until James could join us. Then, it was off to Pike Place Market and the Seattle Aquarium.
It was a little rainy today, but we were inside most of the time. No problem!
Beautiful flowers for sale. (Somehow, we didn't a picture of all of the fish!)
Beautiful peppers for sale too!
After delicious chowder at Pike Chowder, we crossed over the street to the aquarium. It's not a huge aquarium, but the touch tanks were wonderful.
Love Rudy's face here:
Rudy (the supposed future animal saver) was not having any of the touch tanks. He'd look, but had no interest in touching!
The anemones would really try to latch on to your finger. Kind of creepy feeling!
Pacific octopus. Apparently, this is a smallish one!
Aack!
Ever heard of a basket starfish? Me either, until now:
All kinds of weird looking creatures:
Up close and personal with a sea lion:
As our last hurrah in Seattle, we went out for a seafood dinner. Wow - James and I agreed it was not only the best salmon, but also the best fish, we had ever tasted. YUM!
