So on Monday April 23, 2012 we met at Carkeek Park to soak in a little bit of vitamin D and fly a kite. This park is breathtaking and the pictures on their website do not do it justice! Featuring acres and acres of all things 'northwest', this spot captures a bit of everything that defines our area. From the tress and grass, to the ocean waters and beaches, from the the playground to the picnic tables, this place has it all! Parking was decent considering we were there on a Monday afternoon, but I'm sure it fills up very fast on weekends.
Windy enough for kite flyin' |
grassy area near the playground with a beautiful view |
This fish "slide" is SO Seattle and the kids loved it |
Can't wait to come back and explore the trails! |
To say that she can 'fly' is an understatement |
Pedestrian bridge from the park over the railroad tracks to the beach. Not stroller or wheelchair friendly (not sure if there is an alternative route or not). |
YES, that is really sand in Washington |
Which becomes pebbles and rocks as you get closer to the water |
