A trip to the US and Jonathan's wedding 1/4

We flew into Seattle and almost directly getting off the plane decided to go to the infamous "Space Needle". I haven't been up it since I was a small child and it's such an icon in the Pacific Northwest. It was really fun, but it took a very long time to go up and down on a Sunday. We waited for 1/2 hour just to go to the top, which took about 1.5 minutes due to the high speed elevator. Then we spent about 10 or 15 minutes at the top taking pictures and hanging out, but we were sort of on a time schedule so couldn't stay long. Little did we know, there was a huge waiting line to go down too and it took us about 1/2 hour to get into an elevator going down too...WOW! Oh and it wasn't cheap either, now it costs almost US$30 per person to go up. But in hindsight, it was worth it.
