"Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head..."

Day 7:

“Woke up,  got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head…” What!?!? I can't help it, every time I say or hear, "Woke up." I think of the song! Anyway, got to sleep in a bit today which was nice, and had cereal and muffins. YUM! When in the middle of no-where you don’t have many creature comforts, like my favorite food—cereal!  We hit the road again for Seattle! On the way there we were able to see Mt. Rainer from a long way off; that was really cool.

After checking-in to our hotel we headed into the city to explore the wonderful coastal city! We parked right next to where the Mariners and Seahawks stadiums are. Also, in that area was Union Station, so had to stop in so that we have been there. We walked along the wharf for a while, stopped at pike market and walked along the shops until we found the original Starbucks.

 Obviously, we had to stop and get something there, and like always it tasted GOOD! With caffeine coursing through my veins, I had renewed energy for the walk to the Space Needle.

The space needle. (I am the master of pointing out the obvious! :D)

 We didn’t go up to the top, but we did go into the base of it and look around. It’s a interesting building. From there we wandered back down to the water and had some fish and chips at one of the local places. That tasted good.  While waiting for the rush hour traffic to clear up some, we sat and enjoyed the harbor and then we headed back to the hotel where I updated my blog some more.

End day 7.
