Over the 4th of July weekend we attended the Center For Wooden Boats Festival at the south end of Lake Union in Seattle. It's one of my most favorite places in the city. My Rotary Club meets at the Center every Friday morning. It's the best location of any Rotary meeting in the world, I would have to argue.
The kids love visiting this area, too, mostly because we can hop on the trolley from there. And they love to ride the trolley.
This visit, however, was all about boats. We hopped on The Admiral for a free sail around Lake Union. It was so cool. We ended up on the sailboat with a family visiting from Connecticut. They actually had 3 kids exactly 10 years older than our kids. It was fun to see what life will be like in 10 years! We got to see the houseboats, the sea planes, paddle boarders, kayaks, the city, the Space Needle, and Gas Works Park. All the things that make Seattle what it is.
After our sailing adventure we made our own wooden sailboats and were able to sail them in the pond. We also wondered around checking out all the amazing wooden boats on display. Such a fun day!
