Chanties in Seattle

WHERE: Seattle, Washington
WHEN: July 2010
WITH: I went to visit my college friends Brooke (Huddleston) Newman and Ben Newman and stayed with Darin and family.
WHY: 4th of July

MEMORIES:
-Apparently there is a monthly gathering of people in downtown Seattle where people dress up, get on a boat, and sing pirate songs (sea chanties).  Went to go see this fabulous spectacle with Ben and Brooke.  Ben even sang along at one point!  It was weird, and funny, and great.
-Walking around University of Washington campus.
-4th of July ward party with Darin and family.

University of Washington campus

The boat was already at maximum capacity when we got there, so we had to enjoy the singing from the dock.

Me, Brooke, and Ben

People really dressed up like pirates...like that guy.

"Ben watches a lot of deadliest catch so he knew to wear that cap."

Ben singing along with the chanties.
