Space Needle Aerial
The Space Needle was conceived by Edward Carlson for the 1962 World's Fair. It was built on a 120' X 120' plot of ground for $4.5 million. There are 848 steps from the basement to the observation deck with 25 lightning rods on the roof. It sways approximately 1 inch for every 10 m.p.h. of wind and it stands 605 feet tall. The needle's elevators travel 10 m.p.h. and reach the observation deck in 43 seconds. It hosts more than 1 million annual visitors making it the #1 tourist attraction in the Northwest!

Gazing Ball At Butchart
My partner & I are at Butchart Gardens just outside Victoria, BC, Canada. At the time, we thought this was the most clever photo we'd ever taken.

I am middle-aged. That alone scares the hell out of me. Work tends to get in the way of the travel desires of my partner and I. There are too many places to visit and not enough time or money. We strive to take 2 trips a year, one domestic & one outside the US. The world's an amazing place; we plan to see as much of it as we possibly can!
