Today we took a tour of downtown on a Segway. It was a lot of fun and a great way to see downtown and get the highlights. A guy Jared works with, Dan, and his girlfriend, Sara, arranged the tour and we were just along for the ride.
After a quick refresher course at the piers (we had taken a Segway Tour of Tucson a few years back), we were on our way. First, we hit the waterfront and then headed up towards Pike's Market. From there we went to Westlake, through Belltown, and eventually we hit the Seattle Center (where the Space Needle is).
There was a lot to see and take in, but a great tour. Once we arrived at the Seattle Center we got to "play" around on the Segways while we waited for the fountain to start (see picture below). Remember that we have been riding our Segways for an hour with helmets on, so it isn't the best picture in the world. :)
Once we were done at the Seattle Center, we made our way back to where we started. All was good until we hit all of the people attending HempFest (that's a whole other story). Anyway, we made it back, had some lunch, and then headed back home. They also have a tour for West Seattle -- we'll have to try that one next. Oh, by the way, our tour guide was great...here's the company we went through for the tour.
