Northwest Adventure part 10--A Day for Jim

Since so much of the trip was my visits to national parks, I wanted to ensure Jim had a day to do what he wanted. His choice was to tour the Boeing plant just north of Seattle. Have to admit, I ended up getting a bonus stamp!



We took a scheduled tour of the plant which included watching planes in production. The photo of us in the plant, however, is actually a green screen picture. There are absolutely no photos allowed on the tour. In fact, you can't even carry a purse or any type of bag.


















The left page above is just wallpaper, but the right page is a Fast to Fabulous page. If you remember, I used the same page to describe a day of flying to Alaska. Here it's used to highlight the Boeing plant. On the bottom left is a pocket to hold our tour tickets. Since the tickets were a little shorter, I threw a plane sticker on the pocket to add to the decoration. Similarly I added a vellum sticker to the journal box. I like to use decorated journal boxes when I can but usually I can't figure out what to put on them.

After the plant tour we walked through their museum. The size of the plane parts is unbelievable! There was also a place to design your own plane.


















On the left is the back of the Fast to Fabulous page, which I kept. I added a few stickers as a pseudo-border and a piece of paper that had "flight" printed on it to decorate the page a little further. On the right is the last of the double matted pages from the vacation kit someone purchased for me. This time I used the blue underneath to match the tan on the left. Stickers and a vellum quote helped fill in the gaps I didn't have photos for.

Finally, we went outside to the roof of the museum where we could watch planes taking off and landing. It's not a true airport, it's the testing grounds before the planes leave for their final destination. The plane highlighted below is a supersized cargo plane called a DreamLifter.


















The borders on these pages are old Creative Memories stickers from the Cabana collection. I had 2 packs of them so I could mimic the pages left and right. I wish I had been able to reverse one of the clouds though. Because the photos have beautiful blue sky, they are set off without matting. I liked that the airplane stickers were cartoonish as they really resembled the plane we saw!
