July 22nd Free Soy Milk For All Klingons!

Finally a redeeming quality for the KOA! A decent breakfast for $5. We packed up camp and hit the road fairly early. 160 miles to Seattle. Kathy bought the Harry Potter book, and Josh got reeled into one about the making of "El Mariachi" so there is much reading in the car. We made it into Seattle around noon and drove downtown to the Space Needle.

It was raining. They wanted $16 per person! That's crazy. Its a stinking tower (sez Josh, Kathy agrees). You don't even pay that much to go up in the Empire State Building. And let me tell you the Space Needle ain't no Empire State Building. Instead we decided to go to the Science Fiction Museum and Music Museum. A ticket for both of these was only $15 and was tons of fun better than that stupid needle would have been. So we spent a couple of hours looking at Jimi Hendrix's guitar and old phasers from the original Star Trek. It was pretty rad, and fifteen bucks well spent. I was also pretty impressed with this cool looking poster for an old movie called "The 4-D Man" It had to do with a scientist that discovers how to enter the fourth dimension! It had some sweet looking old school images. (It was released in 1959)
So we left there in search of lunch and stumbled on the taste of Seattle. I have to give these people credit. They can have a party rain or shine. In this case rain. It hasn't really stopped since last night. We ate and walked around. We found a huge line and heard that they were giving out a bunch of free organic food. On a trip like this we love free stuff! So after a short wait we landed all kinds of cool shwag like soy chocolate milk an yogurt bars. (pic). We headed out. Maybe we can make the coast for camping? We better, there isn't much in between.
