We started off the day with an early trip to the Hiram M. Chittenden (Ballard) Locks. The day started off wonderfully, with a clear morning and a bit of warmth to it. We even managed to see a salmon on the fish ladder and a boat come through the locks - very cool.
I then tried to find our way to Gas Works Park, but I couldn't follow directions, so I missed it. We'll try again today. So we then found our way down to the waterfront in Seattle. I don't remember quite so many people being there when we lived here. It was packed, even at 10am or so on a Sunday.
We picked up our tickets to the Tillicum Village Cruise and then wandered the piers for a little while, where we came across a cool gathering of classic boats sponsored by the Classic Yacht Association. After checking out several of them, we made our way back down to Pier 66 for the departure.
