Fireworks off the Space Needle

Living near the Space Needle (and with a view of it from our place) means our neighborhood gets very crazy on New Year's Eve.  The reason is the huge New Year's celebration at the Seattle Center, but more specifically, the elaborate fireworks display launched from the Space Needle at midnight. The only other holiday that brings so much traffic into our neighborhood is the 4th of July (since we also get a great view of the Elliot Bay fireworks). Both nights are very good nights to stay safely at home, which is what we will be doing tonight.

We had planned to make a special dinner this evening, but my stomach's been off all day, so we'll do that tomorrow instead. It will be a pretty calm and quiet New Year's for us, which actually suits me just fine.
