JP and Missy visited Seattle to take in a few of the local sights. Snoqualmie Fallsbeckoned, so we ate lunch at the inn above and then did the short steep hike to the base for a better perspective. To get an overview of the city, we hopped onto a World War II amphibious vehicle of Ride The Ducks, led by a goofy captain and lots of noise as we drove around the city and then the vehicle transformed into a boat for a spin around Lake Union. JP had a birthday while visiting, so we continued the goofy theme and treated him to a filling birthday celebration meal at Buca di Beppo.
