I want to be a tourist (preview/intro)

So, since I got my first paycheck and we finally have some money coming IN instead of just OUT, we decided to take a look at downtown Seattle and visit some of the places we had heard so much about from  both people around here and from Rob (Katy's brother), who served his mission here. Katy had really been looking forward to it and "put her foot down" to make sure we went ASAP. So, on Friday, we looked online to try to come up with a plan of things we wanted to see on our foray into Seattle. There were a number of different things we wanted to see and do, so as we were browsing the internet, we saw something called a CityPass that would allow us to see lots of stuff. It's a packet of tickets to the Space Needle (a must-do activity according to most people we talk to), the Seattle Aquarium, a tour boat cruise around Elliot Bay, the Seattle Science Center, the Experience Music Project Museum, and either the Boeing Museum of Flight or the Woodland Park Zoo. All of those things sounded really fun to do, so we decided to purchase the pass; however, we knew that we could not do all of those things in one day and really enjoy any of them. Fortunately, the passes are good for 9 days from the time the first one is used. So, we planned two visits on consecutive Saturdays to downtown Seattle to see what there is to see in this great new city of ours. So, what will follow in the coming two weeks will be accounts of our two visits and I think plenty of pictures to go with them. I think Katy told me today that there were over 100 pictures on the actual camera and many more on the phones (though only Katy's phone has the capability to upload pictures from her phone to her computer. I suppose it's for the best since the quality of my dumb phone's pictures don't hold a candle to Katy's iPhone). Anticipate and then enjoy!
