space needle, chihuly gardens and the Monorail

Thursday 12th July 2018
Up early today as we are headed back to Seattle and we want to go into the city and do the Space Needle.  After a 5 hour trip we hit downtown and parked the car right near the Space Needle.  A short walk to buy tickets and we got entry to the Chihuly Gardens as well.  Did the gardens first before getting the lift to the top of the tower.   Chihuly glass is so cool and in all the settings including the outside garden are beautiful.  The Space Needle is having huge renovations that have been going on now for quite a while,  they are still not finished.  This included huge pieces of glass with an unobstructed view.  Not really sure if the glass had actually improved it or not.  Have to wait and see one it's complete.  After taking in the view of the city and Mt Rainier we made our way down and then walked to the Pike Place Markets and then down to the water front.  Got some fish and chips for dinner and then walked back to the Monorail station and caught it back to the car.  Made our way to our motel,  checked in and had lazy night.  Getting up at 5.30am to get a flight to LA tomorrow.
