Jason Visits!

My college buddy Jason came in for a weekend, and the weather was BEAUTIFUL! Despite some flight delays, we had a very enjoyable fun filled weekend.

We started by heading up north to Mulkiteo where I had a volunteer event. After the event, we headed to the local beach for lunch at Ivar's and enjoyed the view.

On the pier, people were crab fishing. They had fishing poles with this cage on the end. They would cast the cage into the water and swiftly pull up some crab!
We returned to the city and headed over to Seattle Center for one of my favorite games... bocce ball. It was a beautiful afternoon to throw 3 lbs balls around the open fields.
We ate dinner at Peso's, a great mexican restaurant with an incredibly intricate bar. They ALWAYS have good music playing as well.
On Sunday, we explored Seward park. This park one of many located within the city limits of Seattle, yet you feel like you are very far away!

In the afternoon, we went paddle boarding. It looked pretty interesting, and it was a lot of fun to go out into the middle of Lake Union, but I'm not sure that I would do it again. Next activity on that lake... kayaking!
Come visit Seattle when it's beautiful while you can!!! The rain is coming!
