Sometimes it's nice to go to a town where you know no one and can just explore and experience the city through your own lens. Other times it's great to know people and have connections. This was definitely one of those times. My good friend Jen had recently begun the property management of a sweet houseboat on Lake Union and she generously let us stay there during our time in Seattle. Given my propensity towards sea sickness I was a little nervous at first, but by day two I had my sea legs and things were smooth sailing.
The boat was awesome and we have a great vantage point for the Duck Dodge, the weekly boat "race" on Lake Union. Mostly it's a beer league race with hundred of sail boats and people dressed in costume and BBQing as they float around the lake. When we were there was Star Wars themed. Very cool!
