Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!

Today we went to the Wooden Boat Festival on the edge of Lake Union. We stopped by yesterday on a whim and decided to come back today, as volunteers were taking people out for afternoon sails. Unfortunately, we weren't among the lucky. However, we rented a small rowboat and paddled around for a while. Although it was fun, the rowboat was really hard to control, especially with all of the boats on the water and the already drunken crowds. There was a quick and daring sailboat contest happening when we were out and one of the boats in the contest started to sink right in front of us. After watching several rescues and police men being far too lienient with young sorority girls without thier life jackets, we headed in and stopped for drinks at the Pewter Pig Pub.

In the evening, we sat by the lake and watched the fireworks. It was a beautiful day!
