Seattle Day 2: EMP, Sci-Fi Museum, Mariners Game, and the Space Needle
The first stop today on my second day in Seattle was the Seattle Sci-Fi Museum in Seattle Center. It was pretty cool but the best part was the special exhibit on the work of Jim Henson (creator of The Muppets). We didn’t have time then to go to the second half of the museum: EMP (Experience Music Project), but hand stamps could be used all day.

Why didn’t we have time? Well it was time for a Mariners game! And what a game it was! Not only did the Mariners kill it but there was a lot of action, some base stealing, AND the guys who were raking the field busted out in dance!

Hi, I'm Val. I spent most of my 20s in a standstill, unable to pick which path in life I wanted to take. I wanted the nomadic life of a traveler but also wanted the husband, the condo, and the kitten. Unable to decide which life I wanted more, I did nothing. When I turned 30 I’d had enough of putting my life on hold and decided to start “choosing my figs.” So, I quit my job, bought a one-way ticket to Europe, and traveled for three years. Now I'm back in Chicago, decorating my apartment in all the teal, petting my cats, and planning my next adventure.
