[ Dude outside the needle ]

He's got a safety strap, but it's still slightly unnerving to see a guy climbing around on the outside of the observation deck.


[ Me and Janice ]

Next, we met up with my old friend Janice, who lives in Kirkland. We did not think this photo through very well, because you can't see the famous sign at the Pike Place Market.


[ Emma at Pike Place Market ]

This photo turned out way better. Except you can't see Morgan. Sigh.


[ Asian tourists love Morgan ]

Morgan is accustomed to the occasional outburst of adoration when she travels in public. But this time she had a whole gaggle of foreign tourists talking to her and taking her photo. You can see her swinging her feet about in what I can only assume is an encore of some kind.

I should also note that this happened on the shortest, most boring, least worthy of being built monorail in the world.


[ Strange sights on the highway ]

Later that day we headed south on I5 towards Oregon. At some point we passed this, uh, landmark. I wish I could remember exactly where it was, so I could find out exactly what it is, and therefore make some kind of pointed joke about it.


[ Cheap wine ]

We stopped for supplies in Vancouver, Washington, just before crossing into Oregon and our first stop on the road trip: Portland. We wanted a cooler to keep lunch foods in the car, so we stopped at Wal-Mart. We knew it would sell alcohol, but the surprise was the pricing. Yellow Tail is not exactly the finest wine, but at less than half the price than what we'd see at an Ontario liquor store (including currency exchange), we were tempted to get some anyway.
