Our final meal in Seattle would be dinner following our final day. We wanted something relatively close to our hotel that was more on the casual side. After much searching, we settled on Steelhead Diner. So after we finished packing, we headed back up to Pike Place Market and slightly past Rachel's Ginger Beer at Post Ally. Restaurant was still going on during our … [Read more...] about Steelhead Diner

After our adventures at AvGeek Heaven and a quick lunch, we jetted down the I-5, past Seattle to Boeing Field, and our next destination, the Museum of Flight. We arrived at the Museum of Flight about 1-1.5 hours before closing. While paying for our entry (about $20/person), the cashier informed us that the airpark was closed and asked if we were ok with that... After … [Read more...] about Museum of Flight
