First couple of days were spent in Seattle. Didn't spend too much time in one place. We didn't get to do or see everything we wanted either, but figured we'll be seeing a lot more of Seattle now that her parents have a vacation home and boat up in Anacortes.
Did the usual touristy stuff like the original Starbucks and Pikes Market Place. Also did the underground tour in Pioneer Square which was the coolest shit of the whole trip. Not much to see per se, but the guys doing the tours happen to be young historians. They were very funny and told good stories of the how the city was first built and why they built the city above the original city. Very interesting stuff. If you ever decide to visit Seattle, I highly recommend a tour. It's $16 per adult.
Also did Pikes Market Place. Very busy with tourists during the summer. Mrs. Rumps got to see the original Starbucks and I got to see the fish toss at the market. It's a pretty cool market filled with all kinds of merchants and good eats. I had smoked salmon on a stick. Not bad. Also could see Mt. Rainier form the back deck of Pike's Market. Pretty cool.

Here are a couple pics of a bulding, the space needle, a park with blue trees with all these faceless statues. Kind of weird but cool.
Here is a diner that has cock on duty. I peeked through the window and saw Stanley Pickle, theJON, and toddowen all sharing a booth.
Went to the EMP museum and saw a bunch of cool shit with a horror film exhibit, Avatard, Sci-fi shit, and a Nirvan, Hendrix, and ACDC exhibit. All pretty cool.
That was pretty much it for Seattle. Next post is Vancouver and Anacortes.
