Seattle - September 2024
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,
and riding a Sea Plane. Long summer and a get-a-away trip was in order. Like a second
honeymoon, two years later, this time we went to the other side of the United States. Below
are various pictures taken on the trip.
FYI… these pages utilize a Slideshow system to make viewing easier and adapt to screen sizes.
I suggest viewing on a PC screen, not a tiny phone screen or tablet, to better see what we saw.
You can open any picture and manually scroll, or click ‘play’ for the auto-slideshow.
You can adjust the delay between slides, with the play button.
Plus click ‘full screen’ to sit back and watch in full screen.
