Ride the Ducks!

Today we did a touristy thing called Ride the Ducks. This is a tour on an amphibious bus; a tour of downtown Seattle combined with a sea tour. Our tour guide was a wild whacky woman who went by the name Claire Boyant. She sang, she danced, she made us laugh.

We also made it to the Experience Music Project (EMP) museum, and the Science Fiction museum. I saw William Shatner's tunic, the one that he wore during the filming of Star Trek - The Original Series. I also saw scripts, with notes on them, handwritten by the cast; I saw the captain's chair, and helm console, as they were used in the filming of the series.

At the EMP, I saw Jimi Hendrix's handwritten diary, with some handwritten letters. Cool, cool. We also experienced an event called On The Stage, where we made our own rock video! It's too bad that cameras were not allowed in the two museums.

Although we were around the Space Needle, we didn't quite make it up. There were just too many things to see and do in a short period of time and going up to the top of the Needle just didn't make it on the list. Maybe next time.
