So, the sun starts to shine in Seattle and people come out of the woodwork to clog the streets and attend all manner of fairs, festivals, and concerts. We found ourselves braving the crowds to enjoy greasy food and good music.
Listening to Mudhoney at the West Seattle Street Fair with the Kings.
(note the crowd)
Here we are at the Alki Pirate Landing. I loved the costume Broc threw together for our little scallywag. I am sure you guessed that it was quite the crowd of pirate enthusiasts.
Some friends had tickets for the Decemberists with Andrew Bird at Marymoor and I was lucky enough to get invited. It was a really fun concert and so here is yet another picture with hordes of people as the backdrop.
And then there was Paradise... To escape the crowds while Broc and Rune were playing at Father&Sons, I headed to Mt Rainier with the McKinleys. The trail had its crowded moments, but there was a lot of mountain to go around.
The picture of me and Cameron and this next one is Lisette's photography that I borrowed from her. If you look closely you can see me in the bottom left-hand side.
The wildflowers were out. Paradise is aptly named. Thanks for sharing it with me, L & C!

I have been loving this weather! I wish I would've had the car so we could've gone to the Pirate landing. I really need to buy a car. You have som many fun adventures. You give me hope that it gets easier to tote the young one around the older they get huh?
okay, I'm not much of a hiker, plus my eyes are going bad, how is it that in the Mt. Rainier photo it looks like the desert, and 100 yds. away it's snow? Elevation? Help me out I am mystfied.
So glad you got to do some hiking after all. It's true that lots of good things in Seattle come with a crowd, but you're also really good at escaping the crowd with your hikes.
