Not only is it sunny in Seattle, but now it’s photography season for me.  I’ve started doing my “summer outdoor” run all over the area.  It’s great to be outside and Seattle and Seattle’s Eastside cities are the perfect summer places.  

 On Father’s Day, I  jumped back on the MV Kirkland with my husband and Dad and took the afternoon Lake Washington cruise from the Kirkland docks.  You get great views of the Bellevue, Kirkland, Mercer Island, and Seattle lakefront. The tour is usually narrated by one of the Argosy Cruise staff. This week’s trip incorporated a bit more of the history of Kirkland.  There are always some little known facts revealed that make this an interesting tour.  If you buy a captains’ pass from Argosy Cruises, it allows you to take as many trips as you want for a year.  It ends up being an inexpensive way to get on the water, relax and enjoy the sun.  A great to have some fun on the water without having to own the boat!

  The Montlake Cut was hopping with boats coming in and out of Lake Washington.
