Wednesday in Seattle

Wednesday morning was a jam packed day.

We begun with a tour of the Boeing aeroplane plant. This was a spectacular tour with many ohhhhhh! and Ahhhhhh! moments. The plant is the biggest building by volume in the world. It is where 747, 777, 787 planes are made and it is truly a site to see. The building is 11 million cubic metres, 11 stories tall, there are 30000 employees, 7 restaurants, 72 indoor cranes, 1 million lights, 800 ice rinks can fit inside it, the doors are as big as a football field, it is open 24 hours a day and the employees get around on bikes. It was incredible to see the assembly line of such huge machines and the girls really found it interesting. Uunfortunately you are not a loud to take photos so you will just have to believe me that is was pretty spectacular. 
The next stop was Lake union rowing club for training. The day was the clearest and warmest day Seattle has had since the start of the year so rowing was a pleasure for the girls. We took some great photos of Mount Rainier in the back ground (i will load later today).
Following the training session we all had a quick shower and headed out to a Major league baseball game. Again the girls had an absolute ball (excuse the pun), there was singing, dancing, hot dogs, throwing peanuts and so amazing views.  Somewhere in between that we watched some baseball as well. The girls loved it and it was a great opportunity to see the American culture in all its star spangle banner glory.
Good fun was had by all.

I will load more photos up this afternoon and will fill you in on all of Thursday's action.

Tom
