One Sunday morning in early May, we made our way from Seattle to Bellevue and on down to Renton, where we made what we thought would be a quick stop at Gene Coulon Park.

Wait, not so fast!

Here we were fascinated to discover some VERY competitive toy boat races — these folks were intense — and, for breakfast at 10:30 a.m., some luscious fish ‘n’ chips from Ivar’s.

We soaked up the sun, admired the blue sky and blue water, and thought: What better way to spend a Sunday morning?
