Seattle Day 2!

Today we headed south to the Boeing factory for a tour. The driver down there was interesting. He talked so fast, I could barely understand what he was saying....and I talk fast. You would think I would be able to understand him!:) You are not allowed to have cameras on the tour, so I didn't get any pictures of the factory. Apparently someone dropped their camera down in the factory and did thousands of dollars of damage to an airplane that was being made. So, no more cameras!!! It was a very interesting tour. The factory can get an airplane made in just 3 days! That is amazing considering all the detail that goes into an airplane!

It was foggy in the morning. They were doing some test flights, but we weren't able to see them take off or land due to the fog. They also were test flying the new big plane, the Dreamlifter!


behind me is a line up of planes that are all painted for the appropriate airline and either ready for test flights.

These planes have all been test flown and are ready for delivery!
Afterward, we headed up to the view the Space Needle.



Then we took a nice walk down part of the waterfront. We also heard that is was SeaFare in Seattle and some US Navy carriers were there and doing free tours, so we thought we would check it out.

While we were enjoying our supper at Anothny's, the Navy boat was lowering the American Flag.
