Day 12 - Seattle

Slept late -- Sun was shining and it was already getting hot when my day started. Laurel wanted to sit in the sun before we did anything else so while she 'bathed', I read. I guess the side yard wasn't good enough so it was off to the beach for a couple of hours. All that sun, water, and heat demanded a stop at the local Dairy Queen for ice cream (I had a banana split). Then it was off to the botanical gardens and Japanese gardens (Burien style). Back home to get ready for the movie -- MAN ON WIRE -- playing in this really cool place...the back of a bar!! It seats only 44 people and there were only seven of us there. They serve drinks to the patrons and collect the fees at the end of the movie. We then took a walk through the town area...the spray park (where mostly kids play in the water)...a stop at Berry's BBQ for a pulled pork sandwich and then back home and to bed. Lots of pictures and fun times. Tomorrow...
