I had a great trip to Seattle the weekend of the 14th, my daughter and I drove up and stayed with Audrey in Kent. It was a beautiful weekend, and I had the opportunity to join in Trish Alexanders skate classes in Bellevue on Saturday AM, a roller fitness class which was loads of fun, and then followed by a skills class and coffee at Starbucks. Saturday afternoon was the Experience Music Project with my daughter and then I skated Green Lake and Alki Beach with Chuck from the Seattle Skate Patrol. The Statue of Liberty replica had become a memorial site for the Seattle area, candles lined the sea wall and flowers and notes were laid out at the foot of the statue, it was a touching site. |

Up early on Sunday we arrived in Fremont to start setting up for a day of "Car Free" activities, I met a lot of terrific skate Dancers and skaters from the Seattle area. Maria and Jerry drove up Sunday morning to join in the activities. I think I enjoyed the opportunity to see other skate dancers and their moves. Below is Woody, he does break dancing on skates and believe me does a great job! | |||||||
