I'll try to keep this blog on topic - sailing and hiking - but there are some weekends that deserve a quick post even if we don't pursue those two passions. Jodi's brother, Sister in law and niece visited from Portland and we played tourist in our back yard. Jodi had planned out the weekend and the weather cooperated nicely.
A long walk kicked off Saturday followed by a 'Duck Tour'. As a native seattlelite, I wasn't sure how I'd react to a canned tour in my own back yard, but it was downright fun. 'Captain Lunachick' was our driver/skipper/tour guide/historian/comedian/DJ/song leader and she was terrific. The duck tours are on WWII amphibious vehicles and they give a 90 minute tour of Seattle. An hour on land and 30 minutes on the water. Group participation is the key and 'Lunachick' put her all into the performance - while all the time driving.
Next on the agenda was Doc's Marina Grill over on Bainbridge where great wine, food, and friendship were pleasurably mixed together. A wonderful evening.
Sunday morning's adventure was the falls.
I've been to Snoqualmie Falls dozens of times, but had never hiked down to the bottom of the waterfall. While the falls are impressive from the top observation, they're even more impressive from below looking up. And they may a great backdrop for pictures.
All and all a fun weekend.
Topped off with a great brunch at the Road House with a very cool pancake
