Our days have been busy lately, filled with fun and driving and other random adventures. It's been difficult to blog every day. So...here's a recap of our trip up until now. First, our group of students left Virginia (Tuesday, March 9, 2010) to head to Mankato for a three day crash course in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing.
Right after our class on Friday, we headed out to Rapid City, South Dakota; a long drive and quick stop. Then, it was off in the morning for another day of driving, bunking down for the night in Missoula, Montana. Between these two cities, we stopped at Mount Rushmore and did some driving through the beautiful mountains.
After Missoula, we headed to Seattle. Seattle was a fun city. Andrew previously stated that we went whitewater rafting and go karting. We explored the city a little bit and found Kerry Park, which is an overlook of the city. We also found Counterbalance Park. This was just a little corner in the city, filled with lights and a story about a trolley in the city. This was at the bottom of a hill. The trolley was hooked to a counterbalance weight. The weight was released and came down the hill when the trolley needed to get to the top of the hill. The morning before we left Seattle, we all visited the Fish Market in downtown Seattle. This was a very interesting little part of town filled with produce shops, fresh fish shops, book stores, cafes and restaurants. It was a lot of fun.
From Seattle, we traveled down to Astoria for a night. We enjoyed a dinner at the Silver Salmon, took a trip over the Astoria Bridge, visited the house the Goonies was filmed at, the Astoria Column, and Fort Stevens.
