Seattle Visit: Electric Boat Ride

My parents reserved an electric boat for the family on Labor Day evening.  There is a boat rental company on Lake Union that lets groups drive electric boats out around the lake.   No chaperone required - just follow the rules of the water and don't go past the Ballard Locks or the UW Montlake Bridge.  We set out with my dad at the wheel and took a tour of the lake.  Moira and Danica joined us for the ride - it was a fun time!  Some of us took turns being captain, although I was more comfortable taking the photos.

Somthing you don't see everyday - people having a full course meal while afloat in the middle of the lake.
