We spent the second day at Seattle Center, up to the top of the Space Needle. The first picture is another from Pike Place Market, followed by the Space Needle one.
After the Space Needle, our handy Seattle Pass included admission to the Pacific Science Center, so we checked out the exhibits there. Ben liked the dinosaurs, especially when we put him inside the dino footprint model:
On Tuesday, we ventured out to the Zoo in the morning. It was a pretty chilly morning, and not only were we a little frostbitten, the weather apparently had its effects on the animals as well. Most were hiding somewhere in their ultra-realistic enclosures (which made it too easy for them to hide from view, in my opinion). And then we came upon the sleepy wallabys:
There were about 6 of them all in this enclosure, and I think we got a picture of the peppy one. We cut the zoo short, after dodging all kinds of unruly kids (gotta love vacation during Spring Break). On the walk back to Erin's apartment, we stopped for sandwiches at Paseo, a place so cool and local that it doesn't even have a sign outside. The sammies (as RR would say) were out of this world. Roast pork, banana peppers, spicy mayo, on a toasted roll--amazing! We kicked it at Erin's place for most of Tuesday, giving Ben (and us) a much-needed rest!
