July 1st
First day of my summer break started out at Starbucks.
We celebrated with our daughter and grand kids.
Because we live in Seattle,
we honor such occasions with some sort of coffee concoction.
Today was no exception.
Tom and I them headed to the town of Edmonds,
for a 30 minute ferry boat ride, to the town of Kingston.
We parked our car and walked onto the ferry.
After we landed, it was a short walk to town.
We had a leisurely lunch at a local cafe, on their outside patio.
Today was the first day of clear, blue skies and warm weather.
Leaving Kingston
Once back on the "main land", we visited the Taki Tiki.
With our beautiful, warm weather, we just had to take in this ambiance.
Here's to the start of my Summer Vacation!
Looks like a perfectly wonderful way to start your summer! :) Here's to many more delightful days of sunshine and relaxation! {That's a really nice picture of you and Tom.}
