The day started with 6 hours of waiting in Seattle Passport Office with about 20 other ship residents, to get a secondary passport book with 50 pages, to supplement my existing book of 20 pages, as it is quickly filling up with country stamps.  Then my good friend Peggy, who recently relocated to Seattle, picked me up and we started the FUN part of the visit. I asked fellow passenger Basia if she wanted to join us and the three of us went to the Dale Chihuly's museum at the base of the Space Needle.

Below made me feel like I was inside a Kaleidoscope! SO BEAUTIFUL!  I have been a fan of his work for years.

Below is some of his signature pieces called Macchia where he can use all 300 colors available to him. Love the "lip" of different color!

What a view of the Space Needle! I have been to Seattle before and the Needle was just in an open field before - now the block is teaming with Museums - Mo Pop and Science Museums right next door too.

Outside the Museum is a small garden, with more creative pieces and even a small bunny was enjoying! Right around the corner, is the MoPOP Museum, designed by Frank Gehry. Hard to photograph all the unique lines but I liked the finish colors.

We capped of this busy day with an amazing Wood Fired Pizza Dinner at Delancey. Meet up with fellow shipmates/ bookclub enthusiast to eat here since it was subject of book we all read by Molly Wizenberg called Delancey: A Man, A Woman, a Restaurant, a Marriage. Some of the best food I have ever had from start to finish! So YUMMY!!
