Day two

Seattle has these "city passes" that you buy with tickets to several museums and other tourist attractions at a discounted rate. It was perfect for us since we wanted to do all those things.
We got Josiah so excited for the science Museum that we couldn't really do anything else until we saw it. These were huge robotic dinosaurs and there was also an exhibit on going to mars and an IMAX 3-D film on the Hubble telescope. The film was incredible! It actually took you inside a nebula to see how the stars were being formed. We also watched a demonstration on combustion.
There was a butterfly room too that Evie LOVED.


When we walked under the space needle Josiah casually said "I see the space needle falling" and sure enough when I looked up I thought it was about to fall over on me. There is a crazy optical illusion when the clouds are moving quickly above it, it really looks like it's falling over. When I told Ben to look up he flinched and yelled! Ha!Beautiful sunset from our room.

Can't wait to see more! That museum looks awesome. I wish there were more stuff like that around here! We are going to Seattle in October, and I told tyler last night that we will have to stay a couple days and see some of the things you guys did because they seem so cool!
