Well, here I am on the last couple days of vacation sitting on my deck under the beautiful stars (listening to the Duffster's podcast) , getting bit by misquitoes.. but hey, it's cool....

I thought I would post some fun pics from Vacation. So here we go...

Here is the front of the Sci Fi Museum in Seattle

It was a beautiful day in Seattle and just turning to my left there it was. the Space Needle

Amy took my picture in front of the sci fi museum....

Here is a close up of the cool robot on the roof

and the panels close up

as soon as we walked in, our camera was taken away from us. NO pictures in the galleries. More on that Later, Amy and I will do a report for the podcast.

Ok, the rest of the day we toured the Music Experience and then went to the Seattle Center. It was fun, the next day we went to the aquarium. Now that was pretty cool. Check out these cool fish pics.

This was a male Octopus that had just eaten. He then showed off for the cameras. Pretty cool.

I then put on my macro lens and took some cool fish pics....

Then there was the fish with blue lips. How cool.

Dori from Finding Nemo...

and in the same tank, Nemo and his dad..

This guy was really strange. I liked him.

Here is a cool Lion Fish

And then my favorite fish of all.. my daughter Catherine..

Great pics man! Some awesome fish. Any Trek related stuff inside that museum.

A whole floor dedicated to Trek!

It was so cool. Uniforms, props, ships, tons of stuff. The weapons were cool too. More to come on that.

I think my favorite part was Captain Kirks Chair. It was in a case with some uniforms and other things, and the Enterprise signed by the cast... here is what I found on the net of that case, with Sulu sitting in the chair!

There were some amazing displays. Everything was done very professional and I thought of Duffster often, because there were so many books on display with information on the authors. Pretty cool.

here are some other pics I found of what we saw...

Wow, sounds pretty cool, to bad you are not allowed to take pictures. I guess I will just have to go myself some day :)

Well, if any of you every come to the Northwest, lunch is on me at the Music Experience. I'll come up and meet you and go through the museum! It's only a couple of hours from my house. It would be really fun to see all the stuff together. I thought of everyone many times as different displays reminded me of something you had posted or talked about on the podcast.

Jeff- You would have loved the R2D2 and the big Death Star they had there, plus they had Luke's severed hand and lightsaber, that was VERY cool.

Sounds Cool Rick, definitely would be cool to see with you, Seattle is pretty doable for me as it is on the west coast, and not to far of a Journey for me. Just from looking at the pictures from outside, it looks really exciting. Really looking forward to hearing about your review on upcoming Podcast.

It's funny, I live in Spokane, Wa and I was in Seattle not 3 months ago. With all the kids (we were with another family also) we did not get the oppurtunity to go in the Sci-Fi museum. Both my wife and I were bummed and promised ourselves that we would go next time we were there sans children. I was actually disappointed with the aquarium, it just did not seem like enough compared to some of the others I have visited in my life.

Next time we get set to visit Seattle thought I will defintely let ya know Rick

Rico · August 31, 2007, 04:44:32 PM

Now I know where I have seen this place before. I think Starlog magazine did an article on it a few years back. I recognize some of the inside stuff now. Very cool.

Jen · August 31, 2007, 06:45:22 PM

WOW!!! That looks so cool. I can't wait to hear your report Rick. :)
