Today I took some pictures that I would like to share with you.
I usually start off in downtown Kirkland and walk to Carillon Point located in the southern part of Kirkland. Christmas decorations are up early here; already at the end of November.
I like Carillon Point with its marina, several restaurants, and a hotel. Hidden behind the hotel is a small stream.
Kirkland has many sculptures spread out across its city. Here is the Leap Frog sculpture.
Houghton Beach is popular during the summer, but now it looks deserted and cold.
Two birds are killing some time by going for a swim.
It is easy to slip inside the Beach House restaurant for something warm. However, stick to the drinks. The food is not that good here. A nice cup of tea with a view over Lake Washington will do just fine.
Children can look forward to a new playground at the popular Houghton Beach.
As I stroll along Lake Washington Boulevard, I admire the British looking houses of red bricks. Not so common in this part of the US.
And now I am back in downtown Kirkland. There are plenty of restaurants and a few boutiques for women who like to dress up for an evening out, but I lack a men's clothing store, a women's clothing store for everyday clothing, a paper store that sells pens, personal calendars, stationary, and such, and a shoe store.
Via Lago sells women's clothing.
I have yet to visit Herban Wellness, but it looks nice from the outside.
Simplicity Decor sells home decor and is located on our quaintest street, Park Lane.
Sweet Cakes is another cute little store that sells cupcakes. They have a large assortment of gluten free cupcakes as well.
And as I pass the little boy who has got his holiday outfit on, I am content after an hour's walk in my Kirkland.
Have a good day everyone!
