On our way back to the waterfront we caught a few minutes of the Gay Pride parade. It was entertaining and there was lots of fun parade particpants to check out. This group of fruit was particularly colorful.
We had a picnic on the pier and chilled out for a while in Starbucks, The heat was getting to KB who wasn't feeling well. The air conditioning in Stabucks seemed to help. Eventually we boarded a boat for a lake and locks cruise of the area. I LOVED it. It was gorgeous and so relaxing. Lots of kewl stuff to see. 
There were sea planes taking off and landing on the lake. It was fun to watch. Imagine a crowded lake with pleasure boaters, this big boat we were on, kayaks and even a crew boat and sea planes trying to find a spot in the midst of it. 
Seattle is home to floating houses. In fact the home where Sleepless in Seattle was filmed is one of them. It's for sale at the moment for 2 million!
Further down the cruise we saw this huge fishing boat. There were lots of them around. This one is from the TV show America's deadliest catch.
This shot is while we were in the locks. The locks go from the fresh water lake to the salt water sound. It was probably a couple of feet dirrenernce in the water height.
And going through the locks.
Lots of boat traffic!
After the boat cruise we walked a few blocks to the Wild Ginger restaurant. It was a recommendation from a friend at home and it was delicious. We had lots of fun eating satays and exotic flavor combination dsihes.
Sunday night we ended our day with a monorail ride back to Seattle center where our hotel was. The monorail is kind of funny. It was built for the 62 World's Fair and it only goes back and forth one mile! Just so happened it was the mile we needed Sunday night!
