Sunny Days

A few weekends ago (Aug 6), Saturday began being cloudy and dull.

After R's soccer class, we decided to skip the blue angels show 

as it was cloudy.  That afternoon, suddenly the sun broke through 

and it was beautiful ! Yipee !

I quickly decided that we should go out and enjoy the sun. 

DH picked one of our favorite spots, Gas works Park in Seattle.
I packed a dinner for R and some sandwiches for us to enjoy. 
Beach towel - check. 
Sunscreen - check. 
Camera - check. 
Stoller - check. 
Ball and Frisbee - check. 

Gas works Park is on Lake union and it was an old Gas 

manufacturing plant. Remnants of the factory still remains 

in the park. Some of them have been seem to be refurbished. 

It is a very unique park. 

We reached the park around 6pm and it was a gorgeous day, 

glorious sunshine with blue skies. We went to the lookout 

and sat there enjoying the view of Seattle downtown. 

There were sea planes taking off and landing every 5 minutes. 
There were so many boats that I lose track of them. 

There were so many pretty sail boats, the regular seattle 

ride-the-duck tours, kayaks and other tour boats. R was 

happy to see the birds, dogs, boats, planes and people. We were 

happy to just bask under the sun and look at the beautiful view. 

There were people playing with frisbee and amused R a lot. The 

grassy lawn was nice to play soccer and R played with DH for

a few minutes. R also decided to walk more than usual and we 

were very happy. MIL who is visiting us also loved the park. 

We finally moved to another spot as the sun started setting. 

We then had our sandwiches while R had his dinner. Adding 

to all this was some music being played by some college kids. 

They were dancing and having a good time.Perfect weekend 

activity. Loved every second of this outing. 

Finally the sun began to set and it started to get a little chilly.

We packed up and headed back home. 

Yet another reason why I love Seattle.
