On the 2nd day of our Washington vacation we headed to the city. We went to the Experience Music Project/ Science Fiction Museum and had a blast!
We wanted to go up to the Space Needle but Justin informed us it costs $15 just to go up there. So we decided against that and just took a pic of us in front of it! It worked!
Then we took the Monorail! Not horribly exciting but it did take us to the mall where there was a huge candy shop! Yum. Then we went to the Public Market Center. This place was a mad house! People everywhere! We went to Pikes Place (that's where they throw the fish around) and did some shopping in there. Brandon bought me some peaches that were the best peaches I have had in ages! I mean juice dripping down your arm delicious! Makes me salivate just thinking about them!
We headed down to the docks to do a little more shopping and we found this shop called "Ye Ol' Curious". We headed in there and we found some pretty creep things...
These are real mummies! They were so well preserved in the desert sand that the mummy on the left still has his mustache, teeth, even eye brows! The lady (on the right) is older I believe and still well preserved! Ew!
Busy fun exciting day! More to come!

Below are pics of real shrunken heads!! I found these interesting in a very disturbing way. Turns out in Equador the Wild Head Hunters of the Amazon River would cut off the heads of their enemies, bones were removed, pebbles and sand were heated in sulpor, alum, & lime. Then for 7 weeks these ingredients are shaken in the head everyday. The old chief uses his fingers to press the skin to retain the natural features. Isn't that just NUTS?! But interesting like I said in a disturbing way. 
After the interesting store we headed back to Pykes Place. On the way Justin took us along a little ally where there was a "wall of gum" from the past 30+ years! I added mine cause I am nasty like that!
We headed back to our car after the market and decided since it was National Smore Day we HAD to go back to Theo's Chocolate factory and have a homemade smore. It was a must. Everything about these smores were homemade. The graham crackers, marshmallows, and of course the delightful chocolate. They were $3 a piece but they were sooo worth it! 
Justin and I loving our smores! (I even had marshmallow all over my chin!)
Our last stop of the day was to Golden Gardens Beach. This by far was the best part of my day! I love the beach. I mean LOVE it. When I am at the beach I feel like I am home. May sound weird but its true. Its peaceful. A little slice of heaven!
