Now that Bret and I are enjoying the freedom of easy travel that car ownership brings, we've been out and about a little exploring the area around us. Last week we went to a really neat place not too far from us called Gas Works Park. It was once the site of Seattle's Gas Light Company plant but was turned into a park in 1975. It's probably one of the coolest parks I've been to because one, it still has ruins of the old plant which is different and two, it's right on the shore of Lake Union with a gorgeous view of the city and the surrounding neighborhoods.
For all those movie lovers out there like myself, here are some other reference points: the house from Sleepless in Seattle is visible from the park and the paintball scene from 10 Things I Hate about You was filmed there. So there you go. Here are some pictures from our visit.
Yes, I realize that I look 13 in this picture.
Maybe even 12 in this one. Whatever.
The hill you see in these next couple pictures is actually our neighborhood, Queen Anne.
We came on a Thursday so it wasn't too crowded. Since then we took Bret's parents (who were here last Sunday) to see it and it was packed with people and kites. Too bad I didn't have my camera with me then, too.

So cool!
And about you "looking" 12--we're all going to be extremely jealous of your youthful appearance when people begin mistaking us for being 20 years older than our actual age.
You live in such a pretty place!! I love Seattle. Miss you, hope everything is going great.
Seattle looks amazing. I love these adventures you're having.
Looks very fun! And your pictures are super cool too.
