On the Seventh Day, we didn't rest. Instead we had the most strenuous workouts on the vacation. We started by driving a whiles north of Seattle to tour the Boeing Everett plant, which we explored the largest building in the world (the Pentagon is the largest office building). After that, we trekked south of Seattle to Mount Rainier, where we climbed as far as our limited water supply and lack of oxygen containers could take us. Along the way we had some fun taking photos...
49 photos
Our second day in the San Juan Islands was spent at Deer Harbor on Orca Island. The Today Show was filming "cool getaways from Seattle" and the local Kayak adventures group needed some people so we got a free Kayaking trip. We aren't sure when we will be on the Today Show, but it's supposedly some Thursday because that's when they do the travel segment.
On Monday we each packed a backpack and left Seattle for two days to visit the San Juan Islands, a cluster of islands in the north-west corner of Washington State (and not anywhere close to Puerto Rico as the name might suggest).

Sunday Sunday Sunday! We did lots cool stuff, but The Daily Show is on right now, and I want to watch it instead of typing this. Just check out the photos. And like the other two days of Seattle photos, there are captions on many of the photos, so check them out.
Here's our Lazy Saturday, spent mostly in Pike Place, and finishing in Freemont lounging on a blanket watching Army of Darkness with a couple hundred of Seattle's most pierced and tattooed.
We have so many photos to sort - almost a thousand in just one week. Every day (hopefully) for the next 10 days you'll see a day from our trip. Here's our first day, which started in Pike Place Market, ended on 6th and Union, and in the middle we faced The Man (the hot sauce) and The Man (Microsoft).
