More trip pics

I actually took very few pictures on my trip.  My sister always had her camera along, and it takes nicer pictures than my camera, so I told her to just send me all of her pictures.  (which she hasn't done yet - if you're reading this, send me your pictures!)

I did manage to take this amazing shot of my sister, though!  Mom bought us matching hats, and she is totally rockin' hers.

Most of the pictures I did end up taking were from the top of the space needle.  Going up the needle was one of the two touristy things we did.

Here is "the mountain".  We could see it from all over the city, and it was beautiful.  There were lots of other visible mountains, of course.  We were surrounded by them when we went canoeing.  (fun fun fun!)  We could see them when we ate outside at the sea food restaurant.  (I now know I love crab!)  Like the cheese, though, this mountain stands alone.

Here is another view of "the mountain", this time from the plane that would eventually take me home.  I had a nice, long time to enjoy this view.  How long, you ask?

Two and a half hours.  I sat on the plane at the gate for two and one half hours.  I watched the mountain through the window of my airplane for two and one half hours before the ground stoppage in Denver was over and we were allowed to take off.
