Day 64 - bike/trike ride around the neighborhood 20 min. After that, a trip to Dairy Queen to redeem a gift card. We seem to be starting a pattern of treat runs to "cancel" out our active time!
Day 65 - what a beautiful sunny day. We had a surprise outing to Gas Works Park - it was a surprise even to me! I was on the way to pick up Hannah from school and the radio station I was listening to (KIRO 97.3 FM) was having a promotion at Ivar's Salmon House. If you drove there and showed them that the 1st preset on your car radio was their station, every passenger in your car got a free clam chowder and they each carload got a prize envelope. My 1st preset is in fact KIRO, and we didn't have anything pressing to get home to so we headed down to Seattle. We got our clam chowder and our envelope. We did "win" a free brunch at Ivar's but it was only for 1 person, a lot of good that does us. Not sure if we'll redeem it or not since we'll have to spend money to get the "free" brunch. Gas Works Park was nearby, so we headed there to eat our clam chowder. The girls have been wanting to go there since we see it a lot when we're out on Lake Union. Hannah was disappointed to learn that she could not climb on all the old gas works structures. I remember being able to do this years ago. We did lots of walking around exploring the park, I forgot how big it actually is, but not much activity beyond that. From the park we could see Lake Union Dry Dock where we happened to spot a ship that used to belong to John's company, that was fun for the girls. In fact, John had just been down at that dry dock right before we got to the park. So, he wasn't with us for this adventure, but we thought about him. This will be a fun memory for the girls. 1 hour (at the park) about 2.5 hours detour from our usual routine but it was worth it! Car washing with Daddy when he got home, that's good for another 20 min.
