If this was a real picture, we would be levitating about 550 feet over Seattle's Queen Anne District, but hey - we were there! For real!
Buddy was fascinated with the interactive feature that showed a 24-hour minute-by-minute panoramic view from the Space Needle. You could turn the little dial and see what the view was like at any time of the day - I think he'd have stayed there and turned it through all 24 hours if I hadn't moved him along so other people could play with it! :)
Boo had a great time taking her own pictures from the top of the Space Needle, and had a long-held wish fulfilled while we were there. She has flown on planes and been to airports, including the little local airport a few miles from our home, but somehow has never managed to see a plane actually LAND. Much to her delight, we all got to watch a little yellow pontoon plane land right on Lake Union!
For me, the most exciting thing was having my parents show me the hospital where I was born, in easy view of the Space Needle. I knew I'd been born in Seattle, but it was fun to see that it was so close to a universally recognized landmark!
