Sightseeing in Seattle ...

By lunchtime, as the rain had dried up ... Sparkling Alice & Wolf Girl decided to try a spot of outdoor sightseeing, & headed to the Space Needle at Seattle Centre ... but had to stop off on the way at the Ramada in order to offload their shopping bags!





A short ride on the Hogwarts Express themed monorail later ...

















... & they were at the foot of the 605ft Space Needle ... & feeling that it really wasn't necessary to take the glass elevator on the outside of the structure ... unless of course, you were feeling the need to throw up .....















After exploring the shopping options here, Sparkling Alice & Wolf Girl headed swiftly back to the Westlake Shopping Mall downtown, where they grabbed delicious slices of mushroom pizza.

As they were leaving the mall, Sparkling Alice suggested visiting the Washington State University shop to see if any of the Cullens had been in recently. Whilst in the store the girls were very tempted to purchase some 'Cougar' gear ... before they realised it actually referred to the local sports team ... & not their preference in men ...!

Further hilarity broke out as Wolf Girl was considering the purchase of a 'Cougar' base-layer T-shirt ... which Sparkling Alice rather helpfully explained was to "keep you cool in the winter & warm in the summer ...!" The poor chap behind the desk clearly thought that they'd lost the plot when they dissolved into fits of giggles in the corner & could barely breathe ...

At this point Sparkling Alice & Wolf Girl thought it best to make a swift exit & made their way back to the Ramada for a leisurely evening lying on the bed watching Pierce Brosnan murdering Abba songs in Mamma Mia & Channing Tatum strutting his stuff in Step Up ...
