We are headed north -- summer finally arrived in the Bay Area so we packed up for a trip to the Canadian Rockies via Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver.
Day 1 we arrived in Portland, scoring on a lovely suite hotel room through Priceline low bidding. Our first try and we are hooked. We had dinner at Wolf & Bear's food cart in SE Portland and then headed into Powell's Books for a few hours of book overload.

Then it was onto Seattle -- one of our favorite destinations. The weather was very un-Seattle like with blue skies and warm temperatures. We spent the evening with Ron, Susan, and Christine -- friends from cruising Mexico many years ago.

Then into Seattle for our visit with David and Monica. It is always a joy to see them both. David gave us a personal tour of the EMP and 3 new exhibits: Avatar, Nirvana, and Battlestar Galactica. The building itself is also a treat for color and shape.

A great exhibit with lots of interactive exhibits, concept art and info on the technology used in the film.
