The celebrations in seattle city were great for the forth of july, a very strong sence or patriotism was shown by everyone. The fireworks were very impressive (and long!) Then on our walk back to the hotel we had to dodge all the people lighting up there own fireworks.
Today we went to the boeing factory and did the full tour. Was probably one of the best tours that we have been on so far, especially for the money it cost. $9 each got us a 90 minute tour and saw all of the 747 787 and 777 manafacturing lines, they were amazingly huge. The building that they use for making all of the planes is the largest building in the world covering more than 399,000 square meters - big enough to fit 911 basketball courts. The Hangar doors are nearly the size of a US Football field. The building was so large that when it was first built it used to create its own weather (warm air and moisture accumulated near the ceiling, forming clouds). Anyway enough about the size. Its pretty big ;)
Tonight we are staying in oak harbor, and tomorrow heading over the border into Canada.

So, heading out of USA and into Canada - super! That Cheve looks like a great car love the line! Sarah can't believe the Wii games are so cheap - she wouldn't mind a copy of that new Brawl game. She is thinking of moving over to the USA!
Keep on having fun
