Seattle Washington

I woke up relatively early this morning so nothing was open. I went over to the Space Needle and waited for EMP/SFM (Experience Music Project, Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame) to open. Both are pictured below.





Finally EMP opened. I don't have many pictures from it only because photography seemed to be prohibited in most of the sections. It was a great museum though. I checked out nearly every exhibit with my full interest which was a bit of a change from the average museum.





After spending a lot of the day wandering around the museum, I decided to head out of town toward Yellowstone. I didn't really want to spend money on another museum, and I didn't want to wait around until 5pm because my parking would run out not long after and parking is quite expensive in Seattle. I did find a good deal right next to EMP in an open air lot though (if you're staying for the full day).

Vancouver and Seattle

I was going to spend the day in Seattle today, but after researching and finding out that museums would be free on Thursday, I decided I'd go to Vancouver instead.

This ended up being incredibly silly in the long run for two reasons. One, I failed to notice the free museum hours didn't start until after 5pm, or in the evening at least. Secondly, I really didn't spend any time in Vancouver at all. I went with the intention of seeing things..did the wi-fi checking thing, and then the parking meter wouldn't take my change even though it said it accepted US coins. Ahh! So I eventually gave up after driving around and through the city for an hour or so.

I also took very few pictures since I was driving in my car so much.





And then when I arrived back in Seattle, it was already night. I drove around playing this Shadowrun soundtrack that I'd found online awhile back. I stopped a few places and got out to take pictures. I didn't get my tripod out, so not many pictures came out. I guess I just like to mess around with settings without the tripod to see what I can come up with.
