Queen Anne Medical Weight Loss ventured out on Lake Union in kayaks this morning. We had a group of nine, including Laurel - our guide from Northwest Outdoor Center. We took two double kayaks, and the rest singles. Our group had varying degrees of experience - but we all did great! Even the weather cooperated; it was a overcast and a little drizzly, but very comfortable.
We paddled around the periphery of the lake, gliding by houseboats - including the one from the film "Sleepless in Seattle."
Seaplanes took off and landed around us. But rather than moving toward the shore, one of our members took a picture with her cellphone! We're expanding our horizons as we're becoming more healthy...and brave.
Everyone had a good time. We're even hoping to sign up for NW Outdoor Center's Holiday Caroling event in December - paddling and caroling around the floating homes.
It was a great event - and another excellent example of how we can incorporate more physical activity into our lives!
Remember, we're all in this together.
