Pacific Northwest

Hello again everyone. It's Jerry and I have just returned from a trip to the Pacific Northwest. I flew into Seattle where my family and I stayed for 4 days. While we were there we went up in the Space Needle twice. We went up in the day time and then again at night. Totaly different view at night!! The needle is over 650 feet high so you can really get a view of Seattle. We also went to Pikes Market and watched them throw the fish around. The Seahawks were playing the Bears while we were there so we were able to get tickets at the last minute and that was a lot of fun. We also went on a harbour tour and a Ride the Ducks tour. That's a tour that takes you around the city on a WW II amphibious beach craft. It goes on water and land. That was a lot of fun!! We also went to Mt. St. Helens and to Mt. Hood on our way to Portland where we stayed with family for two days. We flew home from there. While we were at Mt. Hood it snowed a foot and was still snowing when we left and this was in the last of Sept!! We also went out to the coast for a day visit so one day we were in the snow and the next we were in the ocean!! I love this part of the country and I think evereyone should see those mountains. This is a great vacation destination!
