Sunny summer days

If "May Day" (May 1st) is anything like ground-hog day, we may be in for a nice sunny warm summer. The weather on Friday was perfect, almost 80 degrees, perfectly clear. I kicked-off the afternoon leaving work a little early and going for a bike ride over to Puget Sound, down to Ballard locks, and then back up. The waterways were chalk-full of boats, prepping for Saturday's boating season opening preparation. Hundreds of boats were roped together in a long party line.

We started the evening by heading over to Maggie Bluff's Grill on the bay for happy hour. A bit windy, but it has a beautiful skyline of downtown Seattle and great buffalo wings. Next - Brauer's. They have one of the most impressive bottled beer lists I've ever seen (who stocks a $600 3 liter beer?). Atmosphere is fun, but pretty packed. We followed this up with a little pistacio gellato in Fremont. Hit the spot.
