We arranged to take a tour of Seattle and stopped at a lovely garden to view the Columbia River. Water seems to be everywhere.
We met our tour guide at a McDonald's that was just across the street from the famous Space Needle.
This is area in the older part of Seattle near the waterfront. There are hanging baskets and pots of flowers everywhere. It is so beautiful.
Within the city of Seattle, there is a park dedicated to United Parcel Service which was started as a bicycle messenger service back in the days when Seattle was getting started. The water is so powerful coming off the rocks that you cannot hear any of the city's noises. It is a very serene place.
Along our tour, we stopped at a garden area above the city. What a view!!!
I don't believe I have ever seen so many beautiful flowers. There were flowers planted on the top of the overhangs of the market place as well as flowers for sale in the various stalls in the market area. Besides flowers, there were beautiful vegetables and jewelry, tee shirts and various "stuff".
We walked the 10 or 12 or 16 or so blocks back to our parking deck. We walked passed lots of outdoor restaurants and cafes, shops and finally a park with rides for the kids, music and the Space Needle. This lovely fountain was a special feature of the park. Tomorrow the Happy Travelers will go to Snoqualmie Falls so more later.

You do love your flowers don't you "Nanny" -- what happened to my green thumb?!
ReplyDeleteBoo, the flowers were amazing. They had bouquet after bouquet for less than $10, plus all the baskets and planters and flowers on the roof. I would love to have a green thumb, I just try hard. Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteWhat! No picture of you with Bill Gates at Microsoft?????
ReplyDeleteNope, no Bill Gates, nobody from Google or Amazon, everybody was out to lunch or on a cruise. We did see the condo that is used on Frazier.
