Greetings from Ballard

Another quickie after a lovely day in Ballard, where we headed after brunch and dropping off two boxes of photos and artwork we don't have room to hang on our walls at our storage unit. We went to the Hiram Chittenden Locks, which had a community band playing in the botanical garden, ships in the canal, trains on the drawbridge, salmon in the fish ladder, seals in the locks, herons in the trees, roses in the flowerbeds, and not too many people despite all those delights! 

Then we went to Ballard's shopping district, where we walked from the shipyard to Hot Cakes for lava cake and coffee, to various clothing and jewelry stores to browse, to Sweet Mickey's for fudge to bring home, and eventually to La Carta De Oaxaca, where we met our friends Kris and Josh for dinner and some more walking around Ballard. A few pics -- more when I'm more awake (and not watching Raise the Titanic, which is pretty bad yet somehow not as bad as its reviews):
