Fremont Street Market, Lake Union, and the Ballard Locks

Sunday the 28th was a full day. It started out with the Fremont Street Market. I'd been before, and it appears to have actually grown since the last time I was there. Lots of typical vendor-type stuff--jewelry, food, art, and some antiques. It didn't take too long to make our way through that, and someone gave us a flyer for an "ice-cream cruise" on Lake Union while we were there. So we decided to head that direction.

After negotiating one-way streets, no turns allowed, and "closed for construction" obstacles, we finally made our way to the dock just in time to catch the 2 o'clock sailing. It was a fun little cruise. We went past Gas Works Park, saw a lot of houseboats, including the one from Sleepless in Seattle, and the orange soda float was yummy too. Following that, we still had time, energy, and daylight left, so it was off to the Ballard Locks!

The building with the circle around it is where I work. :-)
