South Lake Union during the holidays

Downtown Seattle is such a fun and vibrant place this time of year, but there is also a lot going on in other parts of the city. We wandered down to South Lake Union during our staycation over Black Friday and were delighted to find so much to see and do. There were ships open for touring with complimentary hot cocoa and coffee, choirs performing, and an opportunity to make and festively decorate your own wooden boat from the Center for Wooden Boats. The best part of all these activities, was they were either free or by small donation. 

Brunch at Serious Biscuit is always a must when we are in South Lake Union. I had never tried their baked eggs before, but now I am a convert and I don't think I could ever order anything else. 

Although, Jasper is still a little too small to get into the wooden boat making, he was delighted by the ducks in the pond and found the perfect size chair and table to sit and figure out what this whole thing called coloring is. 

It was the perfect way to escape the holiday shoppers for a couple hours, enjoy the sunshine and be reminded what a wonderful and diverse city we live in.
