We had a wonderful weekend of celebrating not only my mother's birthday but also the beautiful city of Seattle.
Although we did not officially participate in Seafair, we did celebrate all that Seattle has to offer starting with Friday night along Alki Beach.
First stop on Friday was Duke's Seafood and Chowder. We snagged a table upstairs on the deck and enjoyed a bottle of wine while looking out over Elliot Bay. It was the perfect way to kick off our weekend.
We then walked along Alki down to Cactus, a place we love and go to often. We requested a table outside and watched the sun fade in the western sky while dining on some excellent Tex Mex food.
Saturday was a picture perfect Seattle Summer day as we celebrated my Mom with a quick trip around the Kubota Gardens, which began in 1927. It's a lovely and peace garden that meanders through lush foliage, trees, hydrangeas and Japanese maples...ponds filled with koi and waterfalls flowing under ornate oriental bridges. A great place for pictures.
From there we drove along Lake Washington towards Renton and the Hyatt Regency where we sat outside and were treated a several fly-overs by the Blue Angels. The deck at the Hyatt was amazing and quite a little hidden gem along the water. A place we will go back to summer or winter.
The evening ended with pasta dinner at the Olive Garden followed by a warm summers evening concert on my Mom and Kenny's back patio with singing, laughing, dancing and celebrating.
A perfect weekend for sure!
Enjoy!
Stacy
