Since we moved to the Pacific Northwest, everyone has kept telling us “just wait till summer.” Although not officially summer, the weather has been glorious for the past few weeks. Being right on the water, the temperatures never get too hot and unlike what everyone says about Seattle, it hasn’t rained in days. Add that to longer days with it staying light outside till 10 or later, I don’t want to go to sleep at all!
Friday night we had a relaxing night rooftop grilling and sitting by the fire pits. Saturday was a our beach day at Alki Beach in West Seattle. Only about a 20 minute car ride away, Alki Beach is public beach complete with sand volleyball courts, fire pits for grilling, restaurants, coffee shops & amazing people watching.
The water was frigid – not the warm Atlantic off the coast of North Carolina I’m used to in the summer but there was really no need to go in the water to cool off. The temperatures were in the 70s with a nice breeze.
I think I may have stretched a side muscle from our intense paddle board action. My 6 month pregnant body does not move quite like I’m used to.
After the beach, we went to one of the restaurants off the boardwalk. Burgers and Fish & Chips all around. Next stop before heading home was the ice cream shop!
