Atop the needle

We have been wanting to go to the top of the space needle since we moved up here but it has been cost prohibitive.  We figured that for all of us to go up would cost close to $100.  We were waiting for the perfect day to go up so we could see everything from Seattle’s iconic landmark.  Low and behold a Groupon came up for a 1/2 off a yearly pass.  We snatched it up and had a great time on our first visit.  The space needle is in a really fun part of town with large parks, great gardens, TERRIBLE parking, cool sculptures and wonderful museums.  Lucy loved everything but the ride up the glass elevator and actually being on top of the needle.  Emma and Chas loved looking through the binoculars and telescopes.  It wasn’t totally cloudless when were on top but there was a sunbreak so it was still beautiful.  Now that we have a year pass we can go back in the perfect day as well.  Smile

This is a fake picture.  It is part of the price of admission.  They shoot it in front of a white screen and you can choose the background you want.  Still fun though.

Come on up to Seattle and visit.  We can get you half price tickets to the top!

I love all the pictures! It looks like you are all having fun and I hope I get to join you at the top. It is something I have always been interested in doing. You Ward kids are lucky to have a family that does such fun and intereting things!
