After a fun filled afternoon rafting down the Flathead river and eating Indian tacos for dinner, a 5:30 a.m. loading time came extremely early. Good news is, the travelers were able to get some rest on the long trip through Montana, Idaho and into Washington before reaching our final destination of Seattle. Once in Idaho, we gained an hour, which puts us 3 hours behind North Carolina. We did make a few pit stops at rest areas, one that included coffee, cookies and popcorn for a donation to a Veteran. Our lunch stop was in Ellensburg, WA where we were all on our own for lunch. McDonald’s, Subway, Carl’s Jr., Arby’s and a local Mexican restaurant were the most popular choices.
When we arrived in Seattle, we stopped briefly at the hotel where we picked up Bob, a local guide who provided loads of information about the city including the location of the Greys Anatomy hospital, Safeco Field, Century Link Field, the Space Needle and many more popular buildings on the way to the Museum of Pop Culture. The architecture of the MOPOP building was fascinating but the exhibits in the museum were just as amazing. Two special exhibits were devoted to Jimi Hendrix and Nirvana, plus they had exhibits for Indie Games, Horror, Science Fiction, Fantasy and an exhibit where travelers could play different instruments and make their own music video.
