Seattle Day Two

We packed it up and checked in to hotel number two out of three in our five-day vacay. Dropped the bags off in the room - the room at HVP was ready early (at noon) yay!

We headed out to the Seattle monorail that travels 1 mile from one stop to another. Since its creation, it's driven over 1 million miles! We arrived at the Experience Music Project in no time and grabbed some lunch. EMP was awesome! The Northwest music exhibit was really cool. The Pacific NW was so influential in the music scene. EMP has two special exhibits right now: Paul Allen's Sci Fi exhibit and Jim Henson's exhibit - both worthwhile and really neat!

After we wrapped up at EMP, we took the monorail 1 mile back to where we started (the only other stop, lol). We walked to Roq la Rue, a free art gallery with contemporary, unconventional exhibits. Definitely off the beaten tourist path (we walked through a scary area), but worth seeing.

After quite a bit of walking, we indulged at Virginia Inn before picking up some beautiful flowers and wine to have dinner with Lauren and Nate.

Another great day in Seattle - sunshine and clouds: the perfect balance of both!
