So I've decided to divide up our three-ish days of sight-seeing (more like one full day, 2 partial) between two posts since it's sort of a lot of pictures for just one post. As background, Bry and I bought City Passes for Seattle as a way of seeing multiple sights for less money than buying individual tickets for the attractions. We decided to call this our early anniversary celebration. =)
The first day (Wednesday) we went to the Aquarium in the afternoon which was pretty great. I didn't take a lot of photos since, you know, most of the stuff to see is behind glass and I don't have a cool enough camera for handling glass very well.

Second day involved Space Needle (twice - once in the morning, once in the early evening), a Harbor Cruise tour, lunch at Pike Place Chowder (which is sort of hard to find), and the Pacific Science Center which included watching a documentary in one of their incredible IMAX theaters.
My thoughts on Pike Place Chowder food:
1. Crab roll was totally unimpressive. If you like cocktail sauce, maybe you would have loved it. I've had a way better crab roll in San Francisco. This one had flavor that was way too subtle and drowned out by the pile of lettuce. Bread was great.
2. The Smoked Salmon chowder and Seared Scallop chowder were both AMAZING (note empty bowls at top of photo below). The Southwestern (bottom left) and Manhattan (bottom right, with oyster crackers) were okay.
I'm glad we got to try it, though. =)
