A spontaneous solstice.

 The longest day of the year came and went.
In Seattle the sun was up before 5 a.m. and didn't disappear until after 9:45 p.m.
with light still visible after 10.

We decided to spontaneously change our plans and spend the evening with our friend on his boat.


We boarded around 6:30 and then zoomed past our neighborhood (we live behind those red roofed houses--
say hello to the Mt. Rainer!).



 And settled somewhere behind Blake Island in calmer water for a little BBQ.


 A boat BBQ!


 There was my favorite beer.


And later some company from our friend, the seal.



And we toured the downtown waterfront before heading back home.
We live in a truly beautiful city and despite complaining about the rain from time to time, when the sun comes out all that rain seems worth the wait.

Happy Solstice!
Summer is officially here, even if it doesn't feel like summer until July 5th.
