Ivar’s and Mukilteo

This past Sunday was a beautiful day on the Sound, so we opted to go out for lunch.  Because of the previous day’s activities (Hamster Run), no one felt like cooking, so this seemed like the most logical solution… besides, it was nice family time, all 3 of us.  I can just imagine what people thought when they saw us trying to walk.

Ivar’s Seafood in Mukilteo backs up right onto the water at the ferry terminal, so we had great views.

Lots of activity going on as well, watching the people and cars going on and off the ferry.

If you look left of center in the above picture, there’s a white spot.  That’s Mt. Baker.  Here, I’ll zoom in for you:

Quite a few people were out, just enjoying the parks and the water.

Squirrel count:  27.  And we’ve only just begun…

Have a great Thursday!!

Seattle’s Columbia Tower

Today was good and hot, and clear, and a great day for a trip to the Columbia Tower. On the 73rd floor, there is an observation deck where you get the best views of the city and surrounding area… you can see forever.  Well… you be the judge…

The address of the Columbia Center. And what category does this also fall under? Numbers for the The Daily Post Photo Challenge!
