Out for a spin

 

We headed downtown yesterday to check out the new waterfront park and take a ride on the Great Wheel. 

As you can see, a bit murky, although most of the fog had burned off by the time we went up, at least enough to see the skyscrapers emerging through the spooky mist. The mountains, nope. We're under a blanket of wildfire smoke, but fortunately most is staying at high levels.

 

And we had the car all to ourselves to take bad selfies. Actually, we had planned to go on this excursion today, but a grand opening celebration is happening at the waterfront park and they're expecting over 50,000 people to jam the area.  

We had lunch at Ivar's Acres of Clams-- fish tacos for me and chowder for John, then shared a scoop of Molly Moon ice cream before taking the water taxi back home. The full Seattle tourist experience.  

I logged 10,000 steps on my watch by the time we walked the mile home from the West Seattle Junction. 

Just taking it easy for the rest of the weekend. Have you heard, football season started? 

 

Happy birthday, John!
