We got up and headed to Seattle.  We crossed a floating bridge, which I looked up on my phone and found out the old bridge sank not too long ago.  Ethan programmed some stuff into the GPS, so we went out.  First we got breakfast at Beth’s.  They have these huge omelets with 16 eggs or something like that, and unlimited hash browns.  I split a big one, and it was really good.  The hash browns weren’t great though.  Afterwards, we went and saw a random troll under a bridge, but it wasn’t that cool.  Then we went out and got some South Lake Union Trolley shirts (Ride the SLUT).  They were ok, so I picked one up, although I’m not sure when I’ll really wear it.

We went to the fish market and saw them throw the fish.  It was OK, but wasn’t spectacular.  I saw a guy playing the piano on the side of the road and he was pretty good.  Next we went to the Space Needle afterwards; it was much smaller than I thought it would be and the fake in Vegas might actually be taller.  Ethan and Larissa wanted to go up, so they waited in line.  The rest of us wandered the grounds of the Worlds Fair.  My dad told me he was there for it, so insisted that I check it out.  There was a carnival permanently stationed there, and it was pretty terrible.  They had the worst mini golf I’d ever seen.  I tried to negotiate with one of the operators for a better prize, I wanted to make it a cash game and reverse the odds.  I wanted him to play, and I’d pay cash.  He refused so I figured the odds they were giving weren’t too good.  I love statistics and figuring out expected payouts on the fly.
