Well some of you may of known, I was in Seattle from the 25th till the 29th..I always wanted to go to seattle mainly because of Boeing. The Boeing plant in Everett was somthing that I always wanted to see ever since I was a little child, and you all know how much I love airplanes The first night we stayed right outside the airport in SeaTac for a night and then the next 3 nights we stayed at my dads best friends house in Olympia..Pretty much the major highlights for me were the Space Needle, Pike St, History of Aviation Museum and the Boeing Everett Tour..I didnt get to see Mt. Rainier due to 2 weeks of rain and fog..grr..anywho here are some pics thought I'd share..We flew outa Boston to Chicago O'Hare, and then to Seattle..on the way back we went from Seattle to Denver, and then Boston
Felt great to be back at my old hometown Chicago
DO NOT STAY AT LaQuinta Inn..that hotel was horrible
History of Flight Museum (the old Air Force One, BA Concorde along with the FIRST 747 that flew back in 1960 )
Space Needle
Boeing Plant in Everett..no camera's, phone or purses were alowed in during the tour in the plant..in this plant they make the 747, 777 and the 767..the plant stretches about 2 miles wide it is somthing to see!!

SEATTLE ROCKS!!! Geologically unstable area, but hey, life is short anyway. Best aspect: NO ROAD SALT! Gots to find me a job in the Northwest starting July 2007... if anyone's looking for a pathologist, let me know.
Sweet pics, Goonz! Every time I fly to Seattle, I always get a window seat on the left side of the plane so that I can see Mt. Rainier and Boeing Field on the northern approach to SeaTac. Rainier is absolutely spectacular on a dusk approach with a low cloud ceiling such that its peak is the only thing poking above the clouds.

sweet - someone beat me finally! My parents hate to fly; the only reason I experienced a flight was because they were the godparents for one of my cousins in California and we were going for her baptism. Before that, I flew to North Carolina once when I was 1 year old, but kinda don't recall that trip.
The reason why my dad brother and I went to Seattle un-expectedly was because we got this deal from United from Boston to Seattle for only $190 return included..that was too hard to pass up
