Andy and I decided that we needed to start taking advantage of the really nice days here in Washington, because they don't come very often. The Saturday before Memorial Day was really really nice, so we rented a double kayak and paddled around Lake Union and Lake Washington. I had so much fun taking pictures, it was so beautiful! We rode past a bunch of houseboats - it's crazy how small they are and you know they probably cost millions of dollars. I sometimes think it would be cool to live on a houseboat...but the thing that worries me, is if we have kids and they would be way too close to the water. My mind just goes crazy thinking about the accidents that could occur. So pretty sure we will never own a houseboat on the lake. And that's the only reason why...the money wouldn't be the issue. :)
Paddling was pretty easy, for the most part. We reached this one area called "The Cut", it's a narrow passage where you cross from Lake Union into Lake Washington. It was super crowded in there with boats and the water was really choppy. It would come up and splash us and soak out butts, that wasn't too much fun. Once we crossed over into Lake Washington, we were pretty tired and there wasn't a ton to see over there. We just kind of relaxed and pumped ourselves up to go back through The Cut. By this time, we'd been out for about an hour and half, maybe. We probably could have kept going, but we were dumb and didn't eat before we headed out and didn't bring snacks. We were both starving...so we started heading back and the way back was pretty tough! The wind was against us and when we went through The Cut, there wasn't a single boat going our direction so we had to battle that! But it's good that we had plenty of time to kill because we certainly took our sweet time.
