Tina (my roommate) and I started off our big day of exploration with a BIG, HEARTY breakfast @ the Redmond Inn restaurant (thank’s to my brother’s guidance & tutoring). A person can’t go wrong eating Biscuits and Gravy! Once our bellies were full, we hit the road and made our way to downtown Seattle. Our 1st stop was Pike’s Market. We didn’t see any flyin’ fish, but there sure was a crowd! We made our way down to the Pier and went through the Seattle Aquarium. It had just been re-opened after construction, so it was perfect timing. They have done a good job there and I enjoyed seeing fish that I haven’t seen before. Of course @ the wade pools I have to touch the starfish and sea cucumbers. We also got to see the reunion of Nemo, Father and of course Dorie. I also saw pregnant sea-horses which are male by the way. They are the ones that get to carry the eggs and suffer! So rather interesting. After the aquarium we made our way down the Pier and bought a few touristy (is that a word?) type items and Christmas presents (have to be prepared). On our way back through Pike’s Market I had to stop for some fresh flowers. I got this beautiful bouquet of flowers (which you can see in my picture gallery) for only $4.60. I don’t think I would find that kind of deal in Montana!
Well for now this ends yet another adventure in my wonderful new home!

Oh what to do?! I decided that I needed to see Snoqualamie Falls so my brother (who so graciously helped me move) and I made our way there. My brother showed me a nice back way to get there which saved on time plus we got to see more country which was a bonus. I just love the trees out here! Some of them are just so tall and huge but they are awesome. Anyway, it was a great drive out there and luckily we found parking and walked over to the viewing areas. A very impressive sight I must say. The waterfall is beautiful and the area surrounding them are beautiful. I know that some time in the near future I will need to discover a way down to the water so I can look at the waterfall from a different angle. So my first full weekend in Seattle was a success. So much to do and so much to see!
