A trip to Seattle

Preparing to head out to Seattle...

Have you ever been to Seattle?  We've been many times but the trip to Seattle passes a lot of cool places.  There's the Teapot Dome Gas Station in Zillah, Washington.  Zillah is also home to the Church of God-Zillah.  In Granger Washington there is a Dinosaur Park that is interesting to look at.  The park also boasts Volcano Toilets which sound a little more interesting than they actually are but fun to see nonetheless.

On the way we also passed a water tower

And the Google map car!!

We stopped at a convenience store and they had this handy filter thing if you need to fill up on oil.  I don't think I've ever seen one.  I wanted to take a filter just because they were free but stopped myself.  See sometimes I can exercise self control.

Somebody wanted to help take a turn at driving.

No Bentley you aren't big enough to drive even if you are with Poppy.

Part of the thing I like about road trips is the ability to get to see cool stuff I don't normally get to see.  For example, in Texas I don't see mountains, snow on mountains, waterfalls and stuff like that.  Those in the car who were traveling with us that were from Washington had to endure our repeated..."ooohhhh - look at that!!!" over and over. 

So to get to Seattle you cross over a bridge and as we came up to it we realized there was some sort of race going on.

It just so happens that the Seattle Rock 'n Roll Marathon was in town. We also passed by Safeco Field and Century Link Field home of the Mariners and the Seahawks respectively.
