Excellent Suburban Summer Adventures Part 1

This week, we are embarking on excellent summer adventures. Guess where we went on Monday ???

Alex is thinking, "This is so not the Tardis! It's not even blue. Mom, let us out!"
Are we in an enchanted garden?
Exotic flowers abound.
A few fit for faeries.
Complete with faerie trees.
And picture perfect blooming roses.
With flowers full of passion.
Great blue heron set to fish.
Volumes of water cascading.
Spiralling sculptures.
A bridge half drawn.
David sure is excited to be here. (Or does he have a bee in his pants?)
Okay, so did you guess?
Here's the answer:
The Ballard Locks! We saw several ships pass through the locks, including the Seattle Police Boat. The Chinook (king) salmon and Steelhead were both running through the fish ladder in droves. So much so that we had to go out for fish and chips after our visit to the locks and gardens. It was a beautiful day and a good time was had by all.
