Yesterday Jason and I hopped on the ferry and went over to the annual Seattle Boat Show. There are new boats filling the stadium and a shuttle that will take you to Lake Union to see all the big yachts that won’t fit on a trailer. Pretty interesting day. Jason has wanted a sail boat for years, but this year they didn’t actually have any small and affordable ones to get on and look at. There were only 2 sailboat companies present and their smallest boat was a 41. Slightly disappointing but I did bring my camera and get a few interesting photos of downtown seattle.  I also got a hazelnut mocha latte that was pretty tasty. So overall I had a good time. 😉

Pisces. We saw this boat up in Anacortes. Really neat almost art deco styled aluminum boat, but I can't find any links to more photos of her online.

So those were the only decent photos I got from the actual show.  Here was our slow walk from Lake Union to the ferry terminal.

    Nice Ashley!

    Since I’m here in Japan, think you could throw in more “people” photos? That’s what I miss the most over here…
