This blog is to document and share my Amgen internship adventures in Seattle, Washington during the Summer of 2011.

Proud to be an American!

Happy Independence Day! (I suppose it is a little late based on the time of this posting.)

Dad and I ventured to South Lake Union Park to determine if it would be a good vantage point to view the fireworks.
Decision: Not a great vantage point.
Brightside: Saw some amazing wooden boats at the Lake Union Wooden Boat Festival!




Dad at the Steering Wheel!

Virginia V is a beautiful steam powered boat.  It is by far my favorite.  Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of her exterior.


This tugboat is the last one of its fleet.  Although it looks rickety, the boat is quite sturdy.

Mt. Rainier on a clear day!

An interesting sculpture in the park.

After the walk in the park, we decided South Lake Union Park would be packed for the fireworks.  We went exploring to find a better viewing spot and encountered McClean Park.  The park had a gorgeous view of Lake Union and was the perfect place to view the Fourth of July Fireworks!
