Tuesday morning we walked down to Pike Place Market. We'd been here before, so there wasn't really much for us to
see. There was a line of people waiting to enter the first Starbucks. We stopped briefly at a viewpoint overlooking the water.

Next, we drove to the Museum of Flight. There's a section inside mostly geared toward spaceflight, including a space shuttle trainer which you can walk into
and see the cargo bay. There are lots of displays here with interesting information, along with some games for kids. I took a turn at a
shuttle landing simulator and crashed - twice.

Outside, there's a large area filled with planes of various vintages, including World War II bombers, along with an old Air Force One plane,
a Concorde, all the way up to a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Many of these you can walk inside (most of the seats have been removed).

We then returned the rental car and took the shuttle to the airport, then took our flight home.
