dads dream fulfilled

since dad was young he has always wanted to walk across the aurora bridge in seattle so the other day him and i did just that. before we made it to the bridge we made a few stops to...

return the yellow kayak to its owner. dad had borrowed it from his organization Washington Water Trails.

we stopped by the office of Washington Water Trails which is found in this cool building. this building used to be a catholic boarding school and now its used to house the offices of non profit organizations and also has apartments for artists to live in. hey, im an artist i should move there.
then dad and i went to lunch at lockspot cafe that is right next to ballard locks. it felt very fisherman like. i had their "world famous" fish and chips. (picture of lockspot not mine)


then we headed to the bridge...






dad pulled out the binoculars which turned out to be a bit tricky to see out of.






it was a dreary and chilly day out there so we will return in the summertime to the other side of the bridge.
