Log:
We met Steve and Holly for bagels and coffee in the morning before driving into downtown Vancouver.
We drove through Chinatown, stopping to view the Sam Kee Building, the world's narrowest office building according to the Guinness Book of World Records. On the same corner of Pender and Carrall Steets is the Chinese Times Building and the Chinese Cultural Centre. After Chinatown, we drove through downtown Vancouver and Stanley Park before hitting the road again. We were officially on our way home, and anxious to start the journey.
We had a few things still planned though. We stopped off in Lynnwood to see Greg one last time and had a cup of coffee at a local cafe. Then into Seattle and a stop at the Pike Place Market to see what all the fuss was about. Since it was mostly closed up for the day, we didn't get to experience much. After the market, we headed south to Federal Way, WA and the Saltwater State Park. The park, unfortunately, is in the flight path for the Seattle/Tacoma International Airport. We fell asleep to the occasional jet flying overhead.
