Seattle Trip Vlog

It's Travel Vlog time again! The Kayak Trip vlog went pretty well so we thought we'd try it again with a trip to Seattle, WA. Best of all, it's 4 parts; one for each day!

Special thanks to Seth Burkey for joining in the video and for his assistance. Check out his awesome photography work at http://sethburkeyphotography.com/

Day 1

We flew out from Omaha, NE at 5:45 in the morning with a layover in Salt Lake City, UT before continuing on to Seattle, WA. We stayed at a nice AirB&B (which you'll see on the Day 4). The first day was just about getting out for a few pictures, drinks and checking out the town. It turned into more of an adventure than we had planned when our bus drove right past us and we had to resort to.... alternative transportation.

Day 2

Today was our more structured day. We got tickets to Bill Spiedel's Underground Tour and also to the Smith Tower.  Both were a lot of fun. The Underground Tour had a lot of laughs and unbelievable stories detailing the original history of Seattle.  Smith Tower had a very nice hands on museum type feel with a great Tap Room and view at the top.

After our history lessons, we thought it would be great to get some pictures of the Seattle skyline and found a ferry that would take us just across the bay.  It was well worth the trip because the pictures and video we got were spectacular, not to mention it was an amazing rush to ride on the front of a Water Taxi doing 30 knots!

Day 3

On Day 3 we did some shopping because my shoes were about ready to get a hole in them. Then we checked out the world famous Pike Place Fish Market before hitting up our favorite pizza joint, MOD Pizza again.

Then it was off to get ready for the concert. Seth went as a werewolf and Jason went as a Vampire. There weren't as many people dressed up as we had expected. One of the whole reasons we picked this band on Halloween, was because we thought it would be a bit more of a spectacle.  The concert was pretty good. Not the best either of us had been to, but entertaining none the less.

Day 4

On the last day we tried to go down to the boats that we'd seen every day on our walk to the coffee shop in the morning, but we were thwarted again by the Seattle Public Transit system.  After waiting 30 minutes for a bus, we witnessed someone tap their card on a sensor on a pole by the bus stop. He then proceeded to get onto the back of a bus without needing to tap the card in the bus.  It also turned on a notification light on the pole. So we thought we would try it, however, we didn't realize that this was only for a certain bus, so when we tapped it, the bus we'd been waiting for kept right on driving.

We then decided to start walking following a Google Maps route, but after 20 minutes we encountered a locked fence and couldn't go any further. At that point we were ready to just go pack up and head to the airport for a few drinks before flying home.
