Day Trip: Fremont, Washington

Hi all! I thought I'd share some of the places I've been recently, starting with the last one first. I know, not entirely logical & maybe not even entirely in order, backwards, but...

Last weekend was the Summer Solstice celebration in Fremont, Washington, a celebration filled with frivolity & wild goings on, held in a town know for frivolity & more than a smidgen of wildness, the self proclaimed 'center of the universe,' home of rooftop rocket ships, Stalin (in statue form) & bridge trolls...

It all started with an overly long drive to Seattle via I-5

Through tunnels

Past the Space Needle

& into Fremont. We saw famous people (who's more famous than  Rapunzel? Who knew she lived in Fremont?)

Over the bridge (this opens for tall ships & normally isn't a walkway for pedestrians.  Looks a bit like a scene from  a zombie film, doesn't it?)

See all the people...(It's a tradition to dress up these statues)

Stop for a bite to eat (they have delicious food & wonderful Greek coffee)

A bit of music here & there...

& everywhere

Boats & bikes (the harbor)

& cars, oh my! (an unusual car show filled  with glittery, famous, infamous, strange & fantastical vehicles of all sorts 

The end of the day, so pretty (I so want to live here)! There's more (monsters, aliens, weddings... ), but I'll save that for next time.

How about you, have you gone on any little day trips recently?
