We left the museum and punched the motel address into Zoe,(that's the name Debbie gave her GPS), and it turned out to be only a couple of blocks away. Too bad we didn't go there first since parking in Seattle is really expensive and parking at the motel was included in the price. Once we got up in the room and looked out the window this is the view that greeted us.
We had toyed with the idea of trying to make a reservation for dinner at the space needle but had not actually made the call. I used Debbie's netbook to aquire the phone number and found that there were a couple of time slots open. We reserved an 8:30pm opening as we weren't completely comfortable going to a special dinner dressed like we were. The restaurant accepts casual attire but we didn't want to be the most casual patrons of the evening. It turned out to be an ideal time slot because we got to view the city in daylight
and also at night.
Dinner was beautiful and tasty and our server was informative and helpful. Here are a few images of some our our choices.
Debbie was done after this pile of food but Jonathan saw how they served ice cream and was eager to sample some.
After dinner, we went out onto the observation deck to look around. You know it's funny. I was ok all evening until going out there and suddenly I got all creeped out about being 600 feet up in the air. It must be old age. We only spent a couple of minutes out there and then we were ready to get back down to sea level. I resisted the urge to kiss the ground but don't think the thought didn't occur to me.
Oh man! In the words of contemperary philospher, Brittany Spears, "Oops I Did It Again!" Well, I'll close this post for now and resume again with the final chapter of this special adventure.
