Adjacent to Volunteer Park is a cemetery. There are a bunch of historical people that are buried there. Many of the founding fathers of Seattle are located there. What the cemetery is most famous for is that it is the final resting place of Bruce and Brandon Lee.
I found a book at Sam's Club that talks about different things to go and see in Washington. I have learned a bunch of history about the area that we live in and funny sites that are worth going and seeing that I wouldn't know about unless I was told about it from someone. This book is where I found out about the UPS Waterfall place and found out about the cemetery. There has been a couple of other things that I have seen but I can't remember what they are at the moment.
The walk to find the grave site was not to difficult. I had read instructions on where to find it. We walked up a hill towards the flagpole. We noticed the site because there was a couple of people already there. The cemetery had a lot of old stones and a bunch that were written in Asian Languages. Seeing these were kind of weird, there isn't anything even similar to this in Utah. Brad made the comment that he wondered how many more visitors the site gets on a sunny day. While we were walking around we were asked by two different groups of people where Bruce Lee was located.
Tom left an Utah quarter.

By this time of day we were starving. We decided that we were going to go to Broadway and find something to eat. We decided on a Thai Restaurant. Tom is the pro when it comes to Thai food and he helped us figure out what is good to order at that type of a restaurant. The people that were working there were really nice and let us order off the lunch menu. That made it cheaper for us :)
While we were still in Capital Hill we had to stop at Half Price Book. We have one of those shops by my house but it is nothing compared to what you can find here. Brad was able to find a couple of books that is going to help him with some research for some prints that he is going to be working on. We still haven't found the "one" that he is needing but it is bound to be somewhere near.

Here we are riding home on the bus. All and all it was a good day!
