Day 3 included a walk through Washington University's campus (the architecture is beautiful), eating chowder (something I never envisioned myself EVER doing!), going to an old gas refinery that had been converted into a park (I thought it was a bit weird, but it is one of the best places to go to view the skyline of the city so whatever.), and then we did a tour of the city, but not just any tour... a FOOD tour (Savor Seattle). It was a great way to learn about the city and visit some really interesting restaurants. Although...note to self...if I ever park my car in a garage in Seattle on a Sunday, I will remember to see what time the garage closes so that I will not be ONE minute late, I will not have to deal with a garage guard that is grumpy, and I will not have to pay a fine to get my car out because I was ONE minute late and he chose to write the ticket for my car first!!!!! Just needed to get that out of my system one last time. :)
Bit of trivia:
This fountain was created for one of the first World Fairs and it is pretty deep.
I bet they fish college kids out of it ALL the time.
The library
Makes me want to go to Europe.
Really?? This needed to be made into a park?
Aaron did take this cool pic though.
And shockingly I have no pics of our food tour...we didn't feel like lugging the camera around with us so you will just have to imagine lots of pics of yummy food (duck tapas/sangria, cheesy pizza, truffles, risotto/wine, beer/cheese, the yummiest carrot cake I've every tasted, etc, etc, etc).
Part 4 (a.k.a The Inadvertent Twilight Tour) is coming soon and will be the conclusion of our trip!
