Weekend in Seattle (Continued)

On Saturday afternoon, I took one of the famous "Duck Tours" of the city. I got some great views both from the land and the water, and the trip was a lot of fun!

Drove right past the park:

This is the boat I wanted to buy for Steph and I. It's perfect - room for two to live, bike on the back, lounge chairs on the porch, there are even 2 lounge chairs on the top deck for soaking up the rays!

One of the many sea planes that I saw up close when we were on the lake:

How often do you see a dog in a lifejacket on the front of a boat?

Views looking back at the city:

I'm guessing this boat's pretty slow.....

Great View of the Space Needle

Sailboat out for a ride

This building's interesting look caught my eye

Sharp looking wooden boat

This is a popular kite-flying park on the Lake

View of the Mountains looking through the Tallest bridge in Seattle

The variety of the lake amazed me - there were kayaks 20 feet from yachts 20 feet from sea planes landing and taking off, all while looking at the city skyline in one direction and the mountains in the other.

These are something that I had never seen before - floating houses! These houses literally float on top of the water, and average about 2000 square feet at a cost of just over a million dollars:

I Guess if you can afford the house, you can afford an equally large boat....

Cool mural in the city (apparently just outside of Wallingford):
