Locks and a Boathouse

Well hello all and a big howdy to all my new visitors from Michelle's site! Such a nice surprise!

Today I went with my family to Ray's Boathouse in Ballard. My Dad had made reservations for us, and myself along with my mom and one sister enjoyed an amazing lunch on the water. Not to mention, the day was incredible! The sun was shining, the mountains were out, people were happy, and it was nice and warm! I am constantly griping about the nasty weather here in WA. It's nothing like California..home sweet home...

We arrived to Ray's and had mimosas, a fruit plate, and individual entrees that were just to die for. The 3 course brunch was phenomenal. I had the Brioche French Toast, my mom had the Alaskan King Salmon, my sister had the Filet Mignon, and daddy had the Seattle Scramble. After admiring the view and boasting about just how awesome the day was and how it was so weird that we were together, minus my older sister, without significant others.




Once we finished and took some pictures, we ventured over to the Ballard Locks. It is basically a ship canal that connects boaters from Lake Union to Lake Washington. I have never seen a ship canal before and how it worked, but the engineering behind it is incredible. The way the water levels were evened out was super cool and how the water was pumped so quickly to raise these yachts and tugs was just neat. Yeah, I know- gear head. What can I say, I got my dad's genes.



I took some new pictures. It's been a while since I have left my cocoon of boringness and took some new stuff.  Enjoy :) Click  HERE to see all of them!
