Kayaking the Arboretum

Alex and I kayaked in the Arboretum this weekend. We rented from the Aqua Verde Cafe & Paddle Club (I'd always rented from UW in the past and found Aqua Verde to be just as good. I'll have to compare rates).



The Arboretum is beautiful on foot, but even more so by kayak. The lagoons glimmer green in the We wandered amongst lily pads and dragonflies, ducks, and a lone egret stalking some fish. We were on our way back near Montlake cut, when the sky opened and we got drenched. The rain plastered my hair to my skull and we paddled through the choppy water in the cut, yelling, "1-2-3-4, I love Marine Corps!" to keep time.

Rain or no rain, I love it! More kayaking to come!
