Mary and I spent seven days in Seattle, touring the city, taking in sites, going to a couple museums, going up in the Needle, riding the Ferry, riding the various Lite Rails and busses, visiting two model railroads and riding a Sea Plane. This was a nice get-a-away trip, after a long summer. Like a second honeymoon, was two years later and to the other side of the United States. Below are pictures from the trip.

Summary - a selection of pictures, maybe 6-12 pulled from each daily album below, to give you a general overview of what we saw over our 7 day trip. Day 1 - flew to Seattle, rode lite line to downtown, checked in the hotel, walked around the boat docks and did some brief sight seeing and rode rail again. Day 2 - took a Guided Tour of the city via shuttle van, saw various sites includes parks and a river lock system. Also went up in the Seattle Needle, visited a Glass Works museum, and rode more Lite Rails. Day 3 - went to Pike Place Market, took a Harbor Tour boat ride around the bay, rode a bus south of the city to the Museum of Flight, walked thru a Concorde and the first Air Force One, saw various planes and space craft exhibits. Day 4 - rented an SUV, visited a model railroad, a Walmart, an Outlet Mall and drove out to see Snoqualmie Falls and had dinner in a Casino. (railroad layout pictures are separate / below) Day 5 - visited another model railroad, took in the waterfront nearby. Back to Seattle to visit Gas Works Park. Then rode the Ferry to Bainbridge Island for dinner and the night view of the city. (railroad pictures are separate/below) Day 6 - visited the first Starbucks location, sorta visited Seattle’s Chinatown area, and rode the Great Wheel. Then rode a Sea Plane around the city for a tour. Ending with another great view from our patio. Day 7 - our last day was relaxed with breakfast in the hotel, another walk along the boat docks nearby, then packed and rode the lite rail back to the airport for the travel home. Layout 1 - visited Craig Wright’s 1/32n20 model railroad. This layout features all scratch built locomotives, rolling stock and buildings in 1/32 scale, based loosely on the 2ft gauge Gilpin Tram in Colorado. Layout 2 - visited Gary Jordan’s 1/48 O scale layout, also modeling the 2ft Gilpin Tram. The layout features O standard gauge, On3 three foot and mostly On2 two foot gauge. Two rooms and two levels. Watch a collection of video clips taken during the trip. - - - not yet available / in the works - - - send comments about the trip pictures
