Planes, trains and automobiles (and boats): Volume 3; Our trip to Seattle July 8th - 10th 2011



Everett's first train ride was from Portland to Seattle. We were sitting across from a couple about to bike from Seattle to Portland (the "STP") in one day the following day. Everett (and Daddy) finally caught a nap on the train.

We spent a lazy afternoon with Mike and Hank. Patrick and Hank took in the view of Lake Washington from the deck. Two cool guys hangin' out.

Mike was captain, and Hank first mate of course, for an evening on the electric boat on Lake Union. We drank wine, ate munchies, saw sea planes land, toured the house boats and even checked out the working docks where the big crab boats dock.

We were lucky to have our visit coincide with the Village Olympics, a day of games that Mike and Casey's friends take turns hosting. This year it was Amazing Race held in Medrona at Edie and Brian's new house. There was a scavenger hunt across the neighborhood, a cornhole tournament, a cooking contest, a block structure building contest and trivia. We had a disappointing finish overall but placed second in the cooking contest with our peach tart.

Abbra ca-dabbra!

We got into the costume box at Edie and Brian's
