Ballard Locks

The goal for this weekend was to go to Discovery Park in Magnolia. The quickest way to get there on foot is to go over the Ballard Locks, which are about a mile from my apartment. Since I had never been to the locks either, I figured this was as good of a time as any to check them out. Once again, the weather was great, and I couldn't wish for more sun.

The gardens around the locks were really neat, and I'm sure really pretty in the spring and summer when everything is in bloom. The locks themselves were pretty interesting as well. I didn't get to see any big ships go through, but I did see some little sailboats pass.

All in all, the sight was fairly interesting. I wish I had more to say about the locks, but I think they are pretty self-explanatory. I really just wanted an excuse to post my pictures.
