Windermere Cup
Spring is here in Seattle. The city has been in bloom for the last month, but the leaves are just now starting to come in. This is my favorite part of the NW!! 
The multitude of diverse greens takes my breath away!
Saturday we went to the annual Windermere Cup. It's held at the UW, and there are 6-10 races held in the morning. The crew starts in Lake Washington and finishes in the Montlake Cut (which is where we were standing). Apparently the UW Men's and Women's varsity teams have been undefeated for years. We had to go check it out!
I thought it was appropriate to show the crowd with their umbrellas!
Purple and Gold, UW colors. Mike is totally in to rowing now, and he wants to take classes. It looks like a great work out! (I might join him.. though I would need to work on my core strength a little bit!) I love seeing him get all passionate about things- he's so cute that way.
This is the Montlake Bridge/Montlake Cut. Isn't it beautiful?? We were standing on the side with the band... anyone who knows Mike isn't surprised about that.
After the races they had a boat parade. I am not in Kansas (or Missouri) anymore. I thought this fire fighter boat was super cool!
On Sunday, in between pre-marriage class and church, we checked out this new park called Golden Gardens. It is right on the sound, just north of downtown. We grabbed a hot dog, did some studying, and enjoyed some Vitamin D.
If you look closely, you can see the Olympic mountain range. This picture is facing west. Breathtaking.
