Washington, D.C. - L'Enfant Plaza

After dropping our bags off at the hotel we went to the International Spy Museum located near the L'Enfant Plaza metro sop. We were not in a hurry and seemingly took the wrong exit out of the metro so we walked around a bit.

We encountered a bunch of scooter that people just seemingly abandoned here.

 After the hike at Little Si and trip to Bainbridge Island I needed a nap. Holly grabbed the camera and took some pictures from the hotel.

She mainly experimented with different camera and lens settings.

Seattle, WA - University Street Station

 True to form I took pictures of a train station.

Because it is a low load floor train the train platforms are very short.

SeaTac, WA - SeaTac / Airport Station

 Once we got out of the airport we grabbed a train (light rail) ride into Seattle. From the station we had a nice view of the airport and some hills with trees. 

Also pretty interesting light.
