We got the chores done quickly this morning and headed to Seattle.  We met up with my dad and Mo to check out the Kickstands Up! 125 Years of Motorcycling in the PNW at MOHAI.  It ends April 26 so I would suggest you see it if you can.  Here are the motorcycles that I liked.

There was this amazing story of Gladys Dawson Buroker.  She has an autobiography that I may try to find.

Then there was the story of Slim Williams and John Logan on their trip to Alaska on motorcycle before there was a road.  It look like you can view their movies on You Tube.  I do mean to check them out.

More motorcycles:

They had a tribute to movies about the rebellious side of motorcycles.  They had video clips of the Rainier Beer commercial and On Any Sunday which we enjoyed.

More motorcycles:

This police bike is not all that different than my bike.

Then we headed to Ballard.  This is us going over the Ballard Bridge. It has been a while since I have been on this bridge.

We went to King’s Hardware.  It is a bar that Mo’s granddaughter manages.  We had very tasty lunches there.  Unfortunately for us (not for her) it was her day off, but we enjoyed our visit.

Mo and I did have cocktails called No Ice that were really good.  Proceeds are going to families affected by ICE and the organizations that support them.

The Ballard Farmers Market was happening outside so we checked it out.  There were quite a few Skagit farms represented there which was nice to see.

We stopped by Scandinavian Specialties store in Ballard for reasons you will find out about next weekend then we headed home.  En route back home we stopped at Acacia Memorial Park.  I brought some of our forsythia and decorated the graves of my great grandparents in the mausoleum and my gramma in the cemetery.  I know my Gramma liked forsythia.  I didn’t know my great-grandparents (although I did meet my great grandfather before he died ) so cannot comment on their fondness for it.  But it’s a Swedish color so I thought it was appropriate.
