Spring 2016 Amtrak Rail Adventure - Wrap Up Post 2 of 3
Today's photo galleries are from my six nights in Seattle. I was privileged to meet my great nephew Neil Owen and his family for breakfast one morning. It was actually my first time meeting Neil's wife Megan and one year old son Lucas. Neil and Megan grew up in Michigan and are both graduates of Michigan State University where my nephew Charles is a professor. Near the end of my stay I was also privilege to meet friends Jacob and Kelly Moody and their three children for dinner one night. Jacob and Kelly grew up in Nashville and were part of the First Baptist Church youth ministry while I was a part of that ministry's adult leadership.
Having been to Seattle on previous trips beginning in 1965, I enjoy revisiting and discovering new things on each of my return trips. This trip I use the excellent public transportation system of hybrid buses, hybrid electric trolleys, light rail, and even the monorail to explore the city. My emphasis this visit was Seattle Center including the Pacific Science Center and the famous Space Needle and visiting Bremerton, WA, via the Washington State Ferries. Also made a couple visits to Pike's Market in downtown Seattle to purchase oranges and apples.
There are four photo galleries covering my stay in Seattle. Click the bold captions below each of these photos to see all the photos in that gallery.
