A Lovely Day for a Walk

It was such a day out that my husband and I decided to walk to the Log House Museum on Alki.    So I thought I would share some photos I took along the way.    At the Museum, a volunteer was asking if we are residents and we told him where we live and that we just started a blog on our area.   He wanted to know if I knew the identity of the West Seattle blogger!  Maybe he is the person behind the West Seattle Blog?!   Mysteries are so much fun!

The fine folks at the museum also informed us about the Alki News Beacon, a local Img_4752publication that I was not aware of.

On the way back, we toured Seaview Hall which was recently listed for a cool $1.8 million.   It’s amazing how much restoration has been done to this historic home.  Personally, I think it would make a great bed and breakfast if you have a spare mil or two!
