  • Museum of Flight - Obviously depends on what you're into, but getting to wander around inside a Conchorde, the first 747, etc. is pretty sweet.
  • Fremont Brewing - Nice to get out of the urban core a bit. Also wandered over to Gas Works Park, which was a cool view of the city and a very unique green space. The Fremont Troll is weird.
  • Pike Place Market - Fun to see all the shops. I don't really get the fish throwing thing, though. Seems to serve no purpose other than drawing in tourists. The gum wall is more gross than anything.
  • Original Starbucks - No way am I standing in a line like that for a cup of coffee I could get basically anywhere.
  • Chihuly - Crazy cool glass art. They also had a glass blowing demo while we were there, which was fun.
  • Bums - I didn't really see many. Those of you obsessed with that clearly haven't been to Denver.
  • Clipper Vacations whale tour - All day event. Saw a couple grey whales and some minkes, but no orcas. May be a little early in the season for that. It was fun to get out and see some of the land to the northwest, though, and Friday Harbor is a quaint little town that was fun to wander in for a couple hours.

We weren't terribly adventurous with restaurants so, while everything we had was good, nothing was crazy amazing. Top Pot donuts were tasty, and the Biscuit Bitch was hilarious and delicious. We also didn't do any hiking while we were there mostly because it's hard to imagine it being wildly better than what we do on a regular basis here in Colorado. Perhaps another trip.

The end.
Friday Harbor is awesome. I absolutely love the San Juan's.
