Olympia

A quick run to the beach house to help the preschool family that won a
weekend at the cabin settle in, then to the Olympia childrens museum
and the Capitol grounds for some fun. -Gerrit

Mass transit adventure

We wanted pike place mini doughnuts, to see Andy and Ajax at their work, and to visit Seth and family in their new Ravenna park home. All using mass transit. It went something like this: bus 13 from our house to downtown Tacoma, bus 590 to downtown seattle, walk to market, walk to westlake, ride SLUT (south lake union tram) to lake union, walk 15 minutes to andy's work, bus 70 to UW, bus 73 to Ravenna, walk 10 minutes to Seths, play a few hours, bus 30 to UW, 71 to king street, sounder train to Tacoma dome(boarded just as doors were closing), Tacoma link tram to downtown Tacoma, sprinted to bus 13 which took us back home. Whew.

Nice to see Andy, and the boys had fun playing with Seth's son Achem, who is 5. I enjoyed hanging out with Seth. Nice having him nearby again. We played a lot in the creek in ravenna park and a playground there. Fun day. -Gerrit

Biking at wapato lake

It was a bit cloudy with a few rain drops on Wednesday, but not bad enough to stop a ride around wapato lake. -Gerrit

Serious rain

The clouds came in and threw some serious rain and hail at the beach
house. Seemed like it was hitting the house horizontally. -Gerrit

Boat trip

Took a boat ride to the marina. It was nice and calm when we left,
but we had to bounce through white caps on the way back. The weather
sure changes quickly. Any rougher, and we would have turned around,
beaches the boat, and walked back to the cabin. -Gerrit
