Some of Ilana's closest friends had a going away picnic for her last evening at the Ballard Locks. The locks serve boats going between the ship canal between Lake Union and Puget Sound. Always a great place to bring visitors, fun to watch the boats, big and small, go through the locks. I had forgotten the beauty of the immaculately groomed Carl English Botanical Garden adjacent to the actual locks. We picnicked on the terraced grass overlooking the locks. What a nice place for a summer evening! Though Ilana said they definitely throw you out at 9pm, no exceptions.
Here, Ilana's friend Erin prepares the pretty cake she made to be served. We;re looking away from the locks here towards the railroad bridge. We saw two trains.
