Critical Mass Beach

Hi Boys,

I went for a long ride tonight that ended at Golden Gardens Beach. The beach is just outside of the Queen Anne neighborhood, and just North of where the fishing vessels come into the Sound. It was a pretty night to be at the beach. Can you see my Beaver Sports water bottle?

Love,

-Dad

Port of Seattle

Hi Boys,

This is a picture I took on my way home from work. It is at the Port where the big container ships and cruise ships come into Seattle. This picture was taken from SW Spokane St, and the cityscape is to the North; you could probably find the spot on a map! 

Love,

-Dad

Kitten-Face!

Hi Boys,

This is Kaisa. She is a cat that lives in the house where I am staying. She gets her fur shaved every month because she gets too hot. Her favorite toy is a bunch of feathers on a string.

Gas Works Park on a Sunny Day

Hi Boys,

This is another picture of Gas Works Park, during a sunny day. It is on the North Shore of Lake Union and is one of my favorite parks. I like to ride bikes here a lot.

Japanese Garden

Hi Boys!

Here's a picture of the Japanese Garden in the Montlake neighborhood. The barbed wire is there because I was on the outside of the fence 'cause it cost $5 to get in...

Kite Store

Hello Ninja Boys!

Remember how much we like to fly kites? Today, I found a store in North Seattle (a neighborhood called Wallingford) a store called the Gas Works Kite Shop. Inside of the kite shop are a bajillion kites! They also sell a lot of cool toys and they are pretty inexpensive. I got a kite for $4.00! Tomorrow I will post a picture of kites flying on Kite Hill.

Love,

-Dad

Dad-Face!, Part II

Hi Boys!

Today you get Dad-Face!, Part 2. Devin, do you still have your digital camera? Can you send me a Devin-Face! ?

More Ride Pictures

Hello Farmer Heads,

Here is another picture from the Ride In Silence. This picture is one of the riders going to the finish line in Gas Works Park. There were about 80 people on their bicycles in this ride. Next Friday will be the monthly Critical Mass Ride, and there will be about 200 bicycles in that ride, so I will get pictures of that too!

Love,
-Dad

Ride In Silence

Hi Boys,

Tonight I rode my bike in a ride called the Ride In Silence. It is a memorial ride that is 10 miles long and no one is allowed to talk. The ride is meant to bring awareness, and in honor of, people that have been injured and killed while riding their bicycles.

Bridgestone Bikes

Hi Boys,

Here is another picture of the outside of the REI store. When I came out of the store, there were two other bikes on the bike rack that were both Bridgestone made bikes like mine. Mine is the first one in the row; you can see my Beaver Sports water bottle on the bike.

The REI Store

Hi,

This is a picture of the indoor climbing wall at the REI store in Seattle. This store is called their "flagship" store, meaning it is their first and biggest store. This climbing wall is several stories tall and people climb on it all the time. The store is enormous and filled with cool stuff for doing things outside like camping, climbing, bicycling, rafting, and other stuff.

Love,
-Dad

Monster Finger Puppets

Hi Guys!

I went buy this store today and the windows were painted with those weird monster finger puppets! Crazy, huh? It is a big weird shop full of weird plastic toys and junk.

Buddhist Church

Hi boys,

Today is Sunday, and I went to church at a buddhist temple in downtown Seattle. It's a pretty cool place and they have a kids center with a basketball gym and a park.

Fast Old Cars

Hi Boys,

When I was driving through Issiquah, I came upon some restored old muscle cars at a diner and took a couple of pictures of them. Grandpa can probably tell you exactly what they are.

Interview

Hi Boys!

Here is a picture of me this morning dressed up to go to another job interview. I have gone to so many job interviews! When you go to a job interview you have to get all dressed up. This picture is in a North Seattle neighborhood called Fremont, at a place called Silence Heart Nest. I had a cup of coffee before my interview.

Love,

Gray Days

Hi Boys!

Here is a picture taken near where I am working at my temporary job. It is in an industrial section of South Downtown (they call it SoDo). This is part of the Port of Seattle where big container ships and cruise ships and trains and trucks all meet to trade shipments. Even though it looks rainy out, it is not wet. They say there are a lot of rainy days in Seattle, but really there are just a lot of gray days.

The Library Red Room

Hi Boys,

This is another picture of the inside of the Seattle downtown library. Everything in this hallway and floor is painted bright shiny red! It feels like you're in a weird alien space ship!

Love,

Downtown Library

Hey,

Here's a picture taken from the top floor atrium at the downtown Seattle Library. It's kind of a weird-shaped building and has some crazy designs for windows and rooms. It is the largest library I've ever seen, at 10 stories tall.

Love,
-Dad

Snow!

Hi Boys!

Crazy weather tonight! A cold front has come in from the Alaska Coast and has turned some rain into snow. This is a picture at the edge of Chinatown, and if you look closely you can see some snow mixed in with the rain! Not a fun time for bicycles!

Love,

-Dad

Mt. Hood.

Hi Boys,

This is a picture from my trip back to Seattle. In between Seattle and Prineville is Mt. Hood. Mt. Hood is a very big mountain that is also a ski resort area. There are several ski areas on the mountian. This particular place is called the Upper Snow Park. If you click on the picture to make it bigger, you can see one of the ski lifts in the background.

Love,

Going Back to Seattle.

Hey, boys!

Here is one last picture of the high desert in central Oregon, before heading back to Seattle. I was so glad to hear that you guys were reading a book together when I called yesterday. Devin, your mom called me and told me how great your grades are getting. I'm SO proud of you for your hard work in school! Dolan, I heard that your grades are also very good, and I'm very proud of you for doing well in school! Squishy, I am so proud that you sit and listen to Devin read the book! I hope you like books as much as I do.

Love,

-Dad

Easter.

Happy Easter!

Are you going to hunt Easter Eggs today? And eat chocolate bunnies and eggs?

Here is another picture of me on Chimney Rock, it's a bit easier to see. Tonight I go back to Portland for job stuff, and I'll be back in Seattle on Monday. I hope you have a great Easter!

Love,

Chimney Rock.

Good morning!

This morning I hiked a trail called Chimney Rock trail in Prineville, Oregon. Here is a picture of me at the top of the trail on Chimney Rock. I think it would be fun to do some camping here some time.

Mt. Hood.

Hi!

Today, I went down to Portland. This weekend, I will stay with some friends a bit outside of town. Here is a picture on the road out of Portland; you can see Mt. Hood in the distance.
