Day 1

Flying into Seattle was a very smooth and quick flight. It took us an hour to buy some chocolate, get our luggage, and rent a car. Then we were off to Pikes Market. I ate some fish and chips from Joe's. So good. We browsed a few shops and ate a pierosi which is like a roll stuffed with delicious ground beef and cheese filling. I am going to learn to make them. The dough was very thin. So yummy. Angela has some good pictures I will add later. The Space Needle was fun and I'm glad I went but the Eiffel Tower is so much bigger. I am driving a brand new Nissan Sentra. Our drive to Vancouver Island took us another 2 1/2 hours. Tried to see some tulip fields. You have to pay to go in but we could still see the a little as we drove by. We just missed the tulip festival. The border was no big deal. We gave our passports and they asked a couple questions and then sent us on to Canada. The ferry ride was fun. The Wyndham was only 30 minutes from the ferry and we saw the parliament lit up so pretty as well as the harbor. I can't wait for morning. Good night.Read more
