Happy Summer Solstice!

by Stephanie Baldwin on June 21, 2011

What a gorgeous day in Seattle! It’s the first day of Summer and it’s a rare warm and sunny day here in the Puget Sound area! Years ago on days like today, I’d grab an Organic Drift pizza from Zeek’s Pizza off Dravus in Queen Anne; stop by a little convenience store near Lake Union to grab a Snapple; and head over to Gas Works Park to eat my meal from a park bench facing Lake Union while watching the sail boats with a friend or two. On Tuesdays there were always more boats because of the Duck Dodge of Lake Union boat races.

Here’s a picture I took in 2000 from one of those benches with a pizza next to me. I used a good old fashioned film camera – remember those?

Now I’m feeling nostalgic… who wants to grab a pizza and go to Gasworks Park with me? :) Have a great evening and enjoy that warm sunshine while it’s here!
