We had a few cocktails in the room with Katie and Scotty and walked down to a bar to meet Matts friend from Observer training a Tanner.
Saturday it was raining off and on the whole day. and we had a jam packed schedule. Kyle loves deals and getting the most for your buck, so we purchased a Go Seattle Carad for 45$ for 1 day. With the Go Seattle pass you can choose from about 45 different things to do and do as many as you can in 8 hours. So we started out with the Science Fiction Museum and the Experience Music Project. They had ET, Donitello from Teenage Mutan Ninja Turtles, Jimmy Hendrix memorabilia etc. It was pretty cool. We walked down to Elliot Bay and took an 1 1/2 cruise along the bay and puget sound. The highlight of the tour was either watching people whip out because it was so wet and slippery or when the blue angels flew over our boat...It was actually pretty cool to see the city from the water. I still am looking forward to going on a Duck tour next time we head up there.
After our boat tour, I think my jeans had soaked up water half way to my knees. I need to purchase a rain jacket and rain gear that doesnt make me look like a freak.
After the cruise, we went to K1 racing. And raced some go karts. It was a lot of fun and I am glad I didnt crash racing with 5 other guys! Go Kaylee!
After racing we headed back down to the bay to take a water taxi to dinner...
We saw the Seattle sky line at night from the other side of the bay which was pretty sweet. We took a lot of photos.
After dinner we walked to the Space Needed to see the city from above. The view at night was 100% better than what we would have seen during the day with the clouds and rain. The needle made me feel a little like I had sea legs since it was movin a little bit.. scary, but an experience!
Sunday we ended up doing a tour of the USS KIDD flight IIA Guided Missile Destroyer. I have no idea what that means, but it was holding a lot of powerful weapons.. like torepdo tubes, guns, and a vertical launching system... We didnt get to see the "personal" stuff of the ship, but we got to see the cafeteria which was pretty interesting. And when we were entering our tour we actually saw the Commanding Officer in his civilian clothing heading out for the day.. And of course Matt and Kyle had to make a sea man joke... they are very mature..
I can't remember what else we did. We walked a ton and saw a lot and definitally got our moneys worth.
I have today off and I am feeling kinda sick.. Like hungry throw up sick, but I ate and threw up.. We were gonna take a hike and I was gonna do laundry, but thats gonna wait for a while.. Happy Monday!
