So we did the trip.. Pike's Public Market in the morning - what a lot of fun (that's where we got the fish), and then a quick run to the Space Needle, so we could get our picture with the fish! After the Space Needle, we drove up to Everett, and toured the Boeing Factory - what an immense building. We saw the 747, 777 and 787 assembly lines in the world's largest building (by volume)! Go around the entire building and you would walk 2.2 miles. A door for the 777 and 787 assembly lines (the door the planes come out of) is the size of a football field, laid on it's side. The whole place is just enormous! It was a ton of fun. Then we headed back to Bellevue, grabbed some unique food at Wild Ginger (a restaurant in Bellevue) and walked around the mall. What a fun day with Jen and James.
So this week, Jennifer, James and Laurie came to stay with me in Bellevue. They arrived late Thursday. Friday was a local day in Bellevue - shooting range (no one got hurt!) where we had a blast, hehehe; lunch and mild shopping at Bellevue Square ( a four block indoor shopping mall), what else would you expect where it rains a lot, and AVATAR. If you haven't seen it in 3D at IMAX, you need to. Unbelievable! Really Cool! A new paradigm in movie making.

Today, we are headed to Seattle - Pike's Market, Space Needle, Chittenden Locks, Everett Boeing Plant. Should be fun!
