Murals of Seattle

 

Seattle was full of really cool murals as you are wandering around the city:

I always love walking around and finding murals in the cities that I visit.

Stone Sculptures of Bainbridge Island

 

Bainbridge Island is a cool place to walk around. One of the reasons that it is so cool are the stone sculptures of Ethan Currier:

Ethan Currier's sculptures are super cool and really are works of art. I was glad to see them.

A Trip to the Woodland Park Zoo

 

When I was in Seattle in April, I visited the Woodland Park Zoo. The Woodland Park Zoo has been park of Seattle for the last 125 years: 

The Woodland Park Zoo is a nice place to stroll and I had a wonderful time. I liked the fact that they are involved in a lot conservation of wildlife.

Music Monday: Songs for Memorial Day

 For this Music Monday, I am going to honor those who have given their life for this country as it is Memorial Day Weekend:

I hope in your busy and fun weekend, you can take a moment and say a prayer for all the servicemen and servicewomen who have given their lives in defense of our country. 

Memorial Day 2024

 

It is Memorial Day weekend and to most Americans it the beginning of summer. It is also a time to reflect and thank the servicemen and servicewomen who have died in the defense of this country. I went over to the National Cemetery at the Presidio and walked around:

The Tomb of the Unknown Solider

And I as I was walking around, I looked at some of the headstones:

Across from the cemetery is the Korean War Memorial:

In your busy weekend, please say a prayer for our servicemen and servicewomen who have died in defending this country. 

Say Hey: The Willie Mays Experience

 

Across the street from Oracle Park - Home of the San Francisco Giants is a pop-up called the Willie Mays Experience. It is dedicated to one of the baseball's greatest players- Willie Mays.  Mays came with the Giants when they moved to San Francisco in 1958 from New York and was already a star, he became a bigger star in San Francisco:

The jersey's of the four teams that Mays played for clockwise from bottom right(New York Mets, Birmingham Barrons, New York Giants, San Francisco Giants)

And he has a statue outside of Oracle Park:

Mays is still alive and is 93 years old and still is affiliated with the Giants. This pop-up was really cool as it told his story as a player and as a human.
