It is finally summer in Seattle! Beautiful weather here-days in the mid 70s with evenings low 60s. Perfect weather for exploring our city!!
Everything is green here--all of the time (even in the winter). Now that lazy summer Saturdays are here, we can finally enjoy going to the many beautiful parks that we've been eying all winter. We've rediscovered one of our favorite things from childhood: PICNICS!
Here's Josh sprawled out on our blanket. Panera in the park=great Saturday afternoon.
Another amazing thing that summer in Seattle offers: Seattle Sounders FC (professional soccer league). We've been able to watch a few matches live.
There are so many little islands near the Seattle area, and they each have a different sort of culture to them. This particular island had a very organic feel to it: no chain food establishments, no Starbucks on every block, and only one grocery store. We did pass by numerous farmer's markets, walking and biking trails, and the most serene road (if you can call it that) I've ever seen.
...on a boat...
On our most recent outing to an island, we drove our vehicle onto the ferry. This is a regular thing for native Seattlites, but it is still an interesting and exciting concept for us land-locked Oklahoma natives. It was a bit strange being in a car seeing water all around.
Ending one of our Seattle Saturdays by taking a walk along Alki Beach, watching the sun go down over the Olympic Mountains.Bliss!!!!
