My sister, who is currently choosing between attending UW or NYU in the fall (rough life, right?), decided to come up to Seattle last night so I could show her around campus. Whilst on campus, I showed her: the Quad, Red Square, the fountain, Reboot cafe/CSE building, Kane hall (we crashed the first 10 minutes of a Chemistry class), Suzzallo & Odegaard libraries, and the W on 45th.
Once we returned back to my house, we decided (on a whim) to take the bus down to the Pacific Science Center/Space Needle. I'm super lucky to have a bus stop less than a block away that can take me on the Ave, to Fremont, and to the Science Center.
After paying a hefty $19 per ticket, we entered the elevator of the Space Needle. The employee working on the elevator informed us that it was moving upward at 10MPH. It was really fun riding it because there were big, glass windows that allowed you to see how fast you were moving.
Despite the cold wind on the observation deck, it was really cool to see all of Seattle. It was neat to be able to identify a lot of the neighborhoods. We ate (expensive) snacks while at the top, then (eventually) bussed back to my house.
Sometimes, spontaneous adventures are my favorite kind of adventure.
