Another week has come and gone. Our schedule has been kind of crushed by having to be at Green Lake twice a day (midday and 5 p.m.) to drop and pick up Annabelle for a drama camp.
We've tried to make the most of the disruption by doing things in that part of town that make the trip worthwhile. For instance, CJ and I have done the entire walk around the lake three times this week.
It's not that far - just three miles - but still, it's definitely not part of our 'normal' routine.
One big upside is that there are lots of dogs for canine-loving CJ to check out. Today, we saw 38 different dogs during our circle. :)
CJ also found a few blackberries along the way.
We always stop and contemplate the fact the Led Zepplin played for an audience seated in this tiny "aqua theater" back in 1969. Three Dog Night was actually the headliner that day. Led Zep were basically unknowns.
Check out this concert poster. OMG, Plant, Page and all were just babies!
CULTURED: Our afternoon wasn't just a stroll in the park. We also made a visit to an important new museum in Seattle.
Specifically, the Rubber Chicken Museum.
It's inside Archie McPhee, one of the bestest stores anywhere.
The Rubber Chicken Museum is just the back wall of a smallish store in Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood, but I kid you not, the display was really comprehensive - well, when it comes to the history of the rubber chicken. :)
We learned about all sorts of rubber chickens, including a supposedly haunted one (below).
Rubber chickens have great influence 'round the globe. The one below was on the wall of MSNBC at some point, apparently.
There is rubber chicken 'fine art.'
CJ couldn't quite measure up to the World's Largest 'Rubber' Chicken.
I couldn't help but examine the giant chicken. "Papier mache," I predicted to CJ before poking it.
Yup, definitely not rubber.
