The Wonderful World of Wendy


Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - WOW - what a ride!!

Something to do on a rainy day in Seattle

Sophia and I had a recent rainy Sunday outing from West Seattle to SAM's Olympic Sculpture Park for "a walk in the park" with other iggies and their people. We left the car in the Junction near the farmers market and took the free shuttle to Seacrest Pier to catch the Elliott Bay Water Taxi across the bay to Pier 55.

The "Sightseer" operated by Argosy Cruises.
We walked along the waterfront and stopped for fish and chips at Ivar's Seafood Bar. They have a glassed-in eating area that appears to be dog friendly. Then we walked the length of the waterfront headed north towards the Olympic Sculpture Park. I finally got to see Father and Son at the same time.
These "Eye Benches" are very cool. There are 3 pairs of them. One side is a huge eye, the other side is a sitting bench.
A hardy group of 5 people and 7 appropriately dressed IGs braved the wet and windy weather.
My favorite piece, "Love & Loss". It is hard to appreciate it in 2 dimensions since it is 3 dimensional, interactive art. You can sit on it! The letter e in the word love is the top of a table to the right of this shot.

Several hours later we headed back, walking back to Pier 55 and catching the boat back across the bay, the free shuttle back to the Junction, and then dragging our wet and soggy selves into the car to drive the few minutes home. We were pretty tired!
