a sunny Sunday on Lake Union

 Emily asked a few weeks ago if I could pick her up at the airport on Sunday. It was the perfect excuse to spend a sunny day neighborhood-hopping in the Emerald city.

Our first stop was the Center for Wooden Boats, where we snagged a beautiful little lapstrake skiff and rowed up wind onto Lake Union.

I've heard the Quebecers say that "Calling Detroit 'hockeytown' is like calling Montreal 'motor city'." Detroit disagrees.
