Hey everyone, I'm back.
Rev Dark, thanks for the suggestion about the aquarium in Vancouver. That was great. I saw Beluga whales, dolphins, sharks, and a bald eagle. Apparently, aquariums do birds now too. Who knew?
We also went to Granville Island, but it was around closing time so we didn't get to see too much, unfortunately. What we did see was neat though, so thanks.
We missed the crepe place, unfortunately. Sorry.
As for Seattle, we did go to the Space Needle, which was very cool. There were a few exhibits scattered around, as next year is the fiftieth anniversary for the World's Fair that was held in 1962. We also went to the EMP/SFM, which is a combination music and science fiction museum, and is right next to the Space Needle. They had an exhibit on Nirvana right underneath a Battlestar Galactica exhibit, in a building designed by Frank Gehry. T'was awesome.
We did go to the Pike Street Market, which probably would have been more fun if we hadn't been pulling our luggage at the time. They had two used bookstores, almost next to each other, which was neat.
The big highlight of Seattle was the Boeing Factory tour, which was amazing. We got to see 787s being assembled. Apparently, they are built in pieces in four different places, and then those pieces (I think it was split up into cockpit, tail, wings and fuselage) are flown to Seattle in special 747 freighters to be put together. That was really cool to see.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
Edit:
Oh, and the airplane flying into Vancouver had Flash Gordon as one of the viewing options
They only had episode 3, though, which I found a bit odd...
