A rare occurrence, the Fourth of July dawned a bright, sunny day this past summer! Darrell and I met Bethany J down at the Old Wooden Boats Festival in Seattle to browse the many incredible boats and enjoy the sunshine!
So many boats.....here are just a few of them. Notice one of them even had a hot tub on its upper deck!
Anyone could sign up for a free boat ride on Lake Union in one of a number of boats offering. We chose to ride on the Amee, a relic of a wooden sailboat from days past.
The sights were terrific, and the sun so warm and relaxing!
Early in the day private boats started staking out their position on the lake for the evening's amazing fireworks display. Before we left in the early afternoon, the lake was filled to the max!
Crowds gathered early to grab their favorite spot at Gas Works Park as well. I now understand why it is named Gas Works! In the 30 years we have lived here, I had never seen it! Sad, I know.
What an enjoyable way to spend a clear day!

Is that a Stature of Liberty head I see? Pretty random.
Yup, it is one of those big blow up deals. Remember this was for July 4th! Patriotism abounds :-)
Finally doing Seattle the right way! Cool festival...I would love to do that sailboat ride!
