Seattle - The Giant Wheel

After dinner on our last night in Seattle, we walked down to the waterfront to see the sunset and whatever else might be going on over there.

 There were lots of restaurants, cruises and souvenir shops and then there was The Giant Wheel.

 I'm not into the fly by night ferris wheel, that is rickity and rocks back and forth, but I could handle this permanent Giant Wheel with its state of the art carriages that are stabilized (much to HH's disappointment as he tried to get the carriage rocking by jumping back and forth from side to side). We were anxious that we wouldn't get on the wheel in time to witness the sunset because they were only loading 10 carriages a go round and there was a big line.  

 We went up just as the sun was going down and saw a great dark pink sunset and then the lights in the city came on and we got a great city view.

It was worth the $13 per person to witness such a great sunset and the lighted city.
