		<description><![CDATA[We hope Thing Two&#8217;s garden will produce a harvest, in spite of the late start of summer.  Every day he enjoys watering and caring for his rapidly growing plants. The spearmint and peppermint are doing great in their new home. The basil and cucumbers make their debut.  So many different shades of green! Meanwhile, Thing [...]]]></description>

The brig Lady Washington is a a full-scale reproduction of the first American vessel to visit the west coast of North America in approximately 1788.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thing Two is not known for being restaurant friendly yet, but we believe that can be accomplished with enough training under appropriate circumstances.  With that in mind, we opted for an early Friday dinner at Ivar&#8217;s Salmon House on Lake Union.  We arrived just ahead of the weekend crowds, so the restaurant grew progressively busier [...]]]></description>

One of our friends&#8217; favorite places at the zoo is the Willawong Station.  During the summer, one can purchase a seed stick [...]]]></description>
