When we last left off, Collin and I had visited Seattle’s gorgeous Waterfront, and we decided to head back to the Pike Place district to find him a pair of Adidas Busenitz. Have you heard of these shoes?
Apparently, Rochester, NY is crazy over them and can’t keep them on the shelves. Of course, they are C-Dawg’s favorite sneakers, so when we planned our itinerary we included a skate shop to see if we could snag a pair. Well, here’s the funny part – the skate shop which I thought was on Pike St. (near Pike Place Market), was actually E. Pike St. For those unfamiliar with Seattle, E. Pike St. is in Capitol Hill, which is quite a steep hike and a good distance away. So we hiked & got a good tour of Downtown Seattle.
- Collins’ Building
- Smith Tower – Tallest building on the West Coast until 1962 when the Space Needle was built.
- Columbia Tower – Tallest skyscraper in Seattle
- Daniel’s Recital Hall
- Seattle Public Library
Cool coffee shop in Capital Hill that served Genny Beer all the way from Rochester, NY.
We made it!
And Collin got his shoes. Thank gawd.
The next day, we had a leisurely breakfast, and headed to Pioneer Square to catch the Underground Tour.
This was actually really cool! Our tour guide had a great, {dry}, sense of humor + we learned a lot about the history of Seattle.
After the tour, we hit up the U-district, which both Collin and I weren’t that fond of – too dirty and run down for my taste.
On our final day, we began the day with a trip to Gas Works Park.
There is an awesome sundial up at the top of Gas Works Park hill.
The battle of Nikon vs. Canon.
Sea planes were zooming overhead.
Could the Seattle skyline get any more beautiful?
We then hit up the Fremont Troll.
I don’t think you can see very well, but there were about 7 bums sleeping behind him. I can’t imagine that being very restful with all the tourists snapping pictures and kids climbing all over the troll… but to each there own. 
We polished off the day with a trip to Redhook Brewery and Chateau St. Michelle Winery in Woodinville, wherein which {for the life of me can’t believe happened} we did not take any pictures. It was probably one of my favorite parts of our Seattle visit, too!
Then it was over the hill and through the woods to Eastern Washington – my home!
A very concentrated driver.
Which is where I will leave you for today.
