A Day at the Seattle Waterfront

8-14-08
Well, we could not have picked a HOTTER day this sumer to take the Bremerton ferry to Seattle. The forcast was in the mid to high 90's and it turned out that way!
When Ian and I got to Lydia's at about 11:00 it was already into the 80's. We almost missed the ferry because of the road construction around the terminal, and not really knowing where to park... BUT we strolled onto the 12:30 ferry with mintues to spare, no sweat right?

Getting off the ferry in Seattle, we saw a "bomb squad" unit parked next to our gate, wow, not an encouraging sight. Although we never did know what it was about, of course Lydia had to stop and take photos of it. I had forgotten how crowded the waterfront and the market are due to not having been there for almost 20 years. It was quite an adventure, Lydia and I never did find the perfect beer garden, alas. But the kids had a good time in the market, and Lydia got kicked out of one of the shops because she called it a "head shop" and the kid working behind the counter took offense and got irritated. So then she decided to mess with him a little more and of course got herself kicked out of the store. What fun!
