SUPER cheesy tourist photo from our visit to the Space Needle. (It was included with admission- we HAD to do it)

| The Lunar Rangers Take On The Space Needle |
Zane and I took an extra long weekend and headed on over to spend some time in Seattle and Portland. He had an interview in Seattle, so we started there.
After a little chaos in trying to find a hotel room that was not disgusting or one first born per night we had a pretty great trip. After his interview we took the train into downtown Seattle for lunch and a visit to the Space Needle- so that was pretty neat. We walked around town and along the water- all in all covering about 8 miles on foot! Can't say I'm a huge fan of Seattle though- it's WAY too big for my liking- so I'm glad my "Seattle" job that starts in August is really more Tacoma and even then is further outside of the cities.
The next day we went down to Portland where we met up with some of his family/friends. We rode the train, hit up the Portland Saturday Market (got some elephant ears), visited the Oregon Zoo, and grabbed some drinks with his cousin.
We attempted to visit a waterfall on the drive home but after waiting in line to board the shuttle for at least an hour, we learned that virtually the entire area around the falls is closed, so all we would be able to do was see it from the base. So, rather than wait for another hour or more (who knows!) we decided to just drive by it as it was essentially the same view but without the waiting in line part.
All in all, it was a pretty great weekend- and my first time visiting Washington OR Oregon!
How Neat Is That?!
