Result of 5 voters
Key - Excellent: 5 points; Very Good: 4 points; Good: 3 points; Average: 2 points; Poor: 1 points; (Average points in brackets)
(1) In the center of the picture is a built-up terrace (probably made from piles of rock left behind from the mining) from where you look out over this lower basin area of the gardens. - 1 voter (5.00) BAR
(2) Directly caddy-cornered to the harbor where the ferry and any other boats dock is the Empress Hotel. It's very swanky, very expensive, and very famous. I'd never heard of it before, but hey…lots of things are famous that I've never heard of before! - 1 voter (5.00) BAR
(3) Still headed for the waterfall. Pretty scenery. - 1 voter (5.00) BAR
(4) We didn't plan to do a lot in Seattle…just mill through the Pike Place Market. This is a totally radical place. - 1 voter (5.00) BAR
(5) A look back as we climbed to the waterfall area afforded a really nice view of the valley we drove into to access the park where we had our picnic. - 1 voter (4.00) BAR

Our trip actually began in southern California. We hung out with my aunt, uncle, and cousins. Saturday afternoon, we took a trip to the San Bernandino mountains for a picnic and a short hike to the waterfall.

Ashlyn Rose Reiswig (held by her mom and my cousin, LuCinda), born February 13, 1999. She was three months premature, and weighed only 2 pounds, 10 ounces at birth. As you can see, she's doing very very well, and there are absolutely no side effects of the premature birth.

And, of course, she got passed around a lot! Everyone had to have their turn to hold her. This is Ashlyn with my mom.

Here's the gang truckin' down the nearly dry riverbed, headed towards the waterfall.

Never figured out if the others were really not up to hiking up the hill to where we could get a good view of the waterfall, or if they just wanted to play with Ashlyn (whom LuCinda wasn't about to haul up the hill). Whichever the case, only four of us went all the way. This is my dad, LuCinda, and her husband, Kent.

And, at last, we reached the waterfall. Yeah, okay, I know it doesn't look like much. It was better than the picture would have you believe!

So, after a few days in California, my parents and I flew up to Washington and stayed at my brother's house on the west side of Puget Sound, across from Seattle. The following day, we took a trip to downtown Seattle by way of the ferry. On the trip, I snagged a quick photo of Mount Rainier.

All right, I DID take two pictures of the fish being hurled at the Pike Place Fish market. Somehow, these two photos got exposed in the same location on my film, creating an unusable double image—seen in the next photo. Hence, my original album just had this digital post card instead. Oh well. It was still fun and amusing to watch. I'd first seen this spectacle one day while flipping channels on the tube. Stopped on MTV to find out why they were showing images of fish being thrown around. Turns out, it was an episode of The Real World: Seattle. Some of the cast were lending (or attempting to lend) a hand with the work. It was very cool to find this same location I'd seen on MTV. Here's what happens: customers inspect the fish and other seafood in ice-packed cases on the lower, front section. Workers are down there to help. When you make a selection to purchase, the worker picks up whatever you chose, engages in no small amount of hollering in some Asian language which results in an equally unintelligible, albeit loud, reply. Your merchandise is then hurled by the worker from the lower level to the people on the upper deck who catch the seafood and box it up for you to take with you. It's worth the trip to Seattle just to see this!

BONUS IMAGE: I didn't originally include this double-exposed shot in this album, but decided for this updated album to show you what my camera did.

For the weekend, five of us (my parents, my brother, his wife, and myself) piled into a car that really wasn't meant to haul five people for more than a couple miles, and drove to Port Angeles where we caught a ferry bound for Victoria on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. The entire weekend was pretty nippy and drizzly, but it didn't prevent us from having a fun time. This picture is of the Parliament government building in Victoria.

Directly caddy-cornered to the harbor where the ferry and any other boats dock is the Empress Hotel. It's very swanky, very expensive, and very famous. I'd never heard of it before, but hey…lots of things are famous that I've never heard of before!
