Last Sunday, we went to the Space Needle, then to the Aquarium, then to the Space Needle again.\u00a0 The aquarium wasn’t very exciting.\u00a0 We didn’t take any pictures there either.\u00a0 Part of the reason I think was that it was very busy and Will doesn’t like crowded areas, so we just didn’t feel like stopping to get the camera out.\u00a0 Plus we were tired from our long day at the zoo the day before.<\/p>\n
There were fish.\u00a0 We did get to see some guys in scuba gear in the tanks feeding the them.\u00a0 There were also otters and sea lions.\u00a0 We saw an octopus and some jelly fish.\u00a0 They also had a tide pool where you could touch things, but they had all the same stuff in the tide pools at the Pacific Science Center.\u00a0 It’s certainly worth going to the aquarium if you have a CityPass, but I probably wouldn’t be willing to pay full price to go.<\/p>\n
After the aquarium we went to Red Robin again because we wanted to sit down to eat lunch.\u00a0 I mentioned in a previous post that they have all you can eat steak fries.\u00a0 Oh yes.\u00a0 Then we looked at the shops they have on the pier.\u00a0 It’s mostly touristy souvenir stuff.\u00a0 There’s one shop that appears to be pirate themed.\u00a0 Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe has all the souvenir stuff but then in the back they have these two mummies and some shrunken heads.\u00a0 It was gross.<\/p>\n
While we were walking along the bay, there were these people dressed as ninjas sneaking about trying to be all ninja-y.\u00a0 Will informed me that they were not real ninjas because we saw them; real ninjas are not seen. Anyway, one of them snuck up on Will and put a sticker on his backpack.\u00a0 It was some ad for a “color reading.”\u00a0 Will pointed out that it’s some clever marketing since we still remember it and now I’m telling you all about it on our blog.\u00a0 I imagine a “color reading” has something to do with a hippy dippy pseudoscience like auras, astrology, palm reading, or homeopathy.\u00a0 There’s a lot of that around here.\u00a0 Homeopathy is a thing and some alternative medicines are actually covered by our insurance.\u00a0 Readers who know me well can probably imagine what I think about that.\u00a0 In fact, we were browsing a local health food store and Will chastised me for scoffing too loudly.\u00a0 But I digress.<\/p>\n
Well this post has gotten kind of long.\u00a0 We also went to the Space Needle before the aquarium and then again later.\u00a0 I’ll put that in the next one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
