    Man Oh Man ! Last day of school. I can remember far back in the foggy distance those last days of school. The BEST. Feeling so free. Now I get a little of it once again, vicariously, through the kiddsies. Have a safe summer kids (and don’t forget everything you learned!).

    This year there won’t be a crowd of teens at Alki to celebrate the last day of school.

    Summers were THE BEST growing up. Swimming, biking, cards, endless fun and no responsibility. Enjoy it, kids!
