Canoeing

 I don't have a whole lot to say about this adventure.

Not to say that it wasn't great, just that there isn't much to explain and you can see the beauty in the pictures. 

The University of Washington does canoe rentals on Lake Union for a decent price.

Both of which are awesome in my book!

A friend and I decided to go while she was in town visiting.

The weather was amazingly warm and everything so green!

 

If you'd like to go, here is the link with information.

Have a great and safe Memorial Day weekend!

Grand Ridge Park

I love to go hiking, but unfortunately my favorite hiking buddy still lives in New Mexico. 

Her coming to visit was the perfect opportunity to go explore a trail up here. 

I saw Grand Ridge Park in a local magazine, raving about the beautiful trails. 

Sounded good enough.

The park isn't all that close (it was probably about 45 minutes away from us), but great none the less. 

We hiked for about an hour then decided to turn back around.

The weather was great, sunny without being hot. 

The hike was beautiful and there were dandelions EVERYWHERE!  

I love dandelions. 

There were also a lot of slugs, which do not exist in New Mexico, for us to poke at and play with.

If you get the itch to go hiking and can go here, I would recommend it!

Have a great week all!

Chihuly Garden & Glass

I have been hearing about Chihuly for a little while now.

My Grandma is obsessed with it. 

My Mother loved it when she went.

My Aunt and Uncle take all their visitors there.

I didn't have a huge desire to go knowing that it was a glass museum, I was uncertain how interesting that could be, and admission is about $20.

While my grandma was visiting New Mexico she got to my best friend also, and convinced here that it was amazing and totally worth the $20 admission price. So, while my friend was visiting we decided to go see what all the hype was about. 

It was indeed beautiful.

The museum was a little short for us. We tend to be those people who make it through museums pretty quickly and don't generally stop to look at each piece that long, so it didn't take us long to make it through the whole thing. 

However, yes grandma, we did enjoy it.

I am glad that we went and got to experience what everyone was talking about. 

They are truly works of art.
