Ivars Seafood Restaurant

Ivars Seaffod is Seattle's best seafood joint. Ivars is located on Seattle's historic waterfront at Pier #54.

We ate outside on the deck where you are encouraged to feed the seagulls.
We had a waterfront view of Puget Sound and Fire Station #3’s waterside operations, where my uncle Mark worked.
I ordered the Oysters 'N Chips but gave away half of the fries to the seagulls.

Geocaching

On my birthday my parents and I set out on our first attempt at Geocaching. Here we are after we found our 2nd cache of the day.

"Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing) is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure. A geocacher can place a geocache in the world, pinpoint its location using GPS technology and then share the geocache's existence and location online. Anyone with a GPS device can then try to locate the geocache."
