Since this was a work trip for Amy, I had all week to do the things that I like to do. So for our last day in Washington, I let Amy choose what she wanted to do. So we decided to spend the day in downtown Seattle.
We started out at Pike Place Market.

From there we took the Monorail down to the Seattle Center which is the location of the 1962 Worlds Fair.

Amy has a fascination with Chihuly Glass, so we visited the Chihuly Glass Museum and Gardens.
We also visited the Pacific Science Center where took in a 3D IMAX movie.

And we just couldn't visit Seattle and not go up to the top of the Space Needle!

It was a crystal clear day which supposedly is quite rare for Seattle, so I believe all 5 million people living in the Seattle Metropolitan area decided to head outside and swarm the city!

Since neither of us likes crowds, we had seen enough of downtown Seattle after our trip up the Space Needle! Since we still had some time to kill, we decided to check out a couple of local parks including Discovery Park which on a clear day offers up some fantastic views of Mount Rainer.

Discovery Park also contains the scenic West Point Lighthouse.

Eventually we made it to the SeaTac airport where we witnessed one last Washington Sunset before heading home on the Red Eye!
