Volunteer Park – Space Needle Not Required

Posted on by Posted in Sightseeing .

We wanted to go to the top of the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington. We did not want to spend the very high price for entry for a family of five.

Lisa did some research and found that Volunteer Park had a water tower was just as high. And it had stairs to the top. Needless to say, we thought the view from the tower was beautiful and actually included the Space Needle.

Volunteer Park also was full of weirdly shaped trees and many friendly squirrels. Join as as we explore.

This is part of our Season 3 Part 2 and was filmed in the second half of 2019.

Week In Review (Season 3 Week 17)

Posted on by Posted in Campgrounds, RV Living, Scenery, Sightseeing .

We are staying at Denny Creek Campground in Washington. We had Verizon and AT&T service which is always good.

We also took the time to walk down into Franklin Falls. The hike was almost 2.5 miles round trip. There are bathrooms at the beginning of the trail so you might wanna go then because there are not any further down the trail. The trail down into the falls was not that hard but it is not wheelchair accessible. When you get close to the falls the trail turns into a narrow rock ledge.
You could get right up to the falls but we didn’t get in the water and swim. We stayed at the edge of the pool at the bottom.

Wings Over Washington was really cool. I would definitely do that again.

The Volunteer Park was cool. I liked climbing on the trees and chasing squirrels around.

The Ferris Wheel on the pier was really cool. When you get to the top, you get a nice view of Seattle, Washington. Elizabeth wanted to go on the Ferris Wheel but at the top she was a little worried about falling but she still had fun.
