My sister, Becky was gracious enough to grace me with her presence for the weekend. She rode up on the train and stayed two nights. It was great! She didn't have to take care of her kids for the weekend and I got to spend some much needed time with her. We had some fun, going to some movies, eating out and even the Woodland Zoo, in NW Seattle. It was a great zoo and the animals were actually moving around! Check out grandma gorilla! Isn't she nice looking?
We also went to the Central Library in downtown Seattle. If anyone ever visits Seattle, they definitely need to check out the library. It is awesome! Very modern architecture, and tons of books of course.
Here is inside the library at the highest point, the 10th floor. Yes, there are that many floors.
Here is Becky in from the of Pike's Place Market with her Starbucks coffee, from the very first Starbucks, right near the market. The market was busy, everyone out and about.
Another stop along the way was the Olympic Sculpture Park, a part of the Seattle Art Museum system. This weekend was the grand opening of the park. Definitely modern art, not my favorite, but it was attractive to the eye. This particular sculpture is called "The Eagle".
