Bremerton-Seattle Ferry

The ferry ride to Seattle was on of the highlights of the trip.  We took the ferry twice, Thursday when we went to the Seattle Center and the Space Needle, and then again Friday where we went to the pier, Argosy Cruise and Aquarium.  It made for easy travel, without the hassle of finding parking in Seattle (although we had to find parking in Bremerton) and took about the same amount of time.  There was plenty to see, and the speed of the ferry made for a breeze outside.  It was also cool to see the Seattle skyline after we turned a corner into Elliott Bay.

Our first stop in Seattle was the Space Needle built in 1962 as part of the Worlds Fair.  It is 605 feet high.  It was originally a three story building.  However they recently remodeled and added a couple of stories.  We went up to the upper platform a couple of times for taking pictures.
