A relatively early morning started with a snack and heading to the Swap Meet in town that our host told us about. It’s essentially a giant rummage sale, but with permanent vendors and a combination of crap and cool stuff. We didn’t end up getting much there, but it was a cool thing to see - these happen every Saturday and Sunday. One of the vendors we spoke with was from Seattle and lived a 10 minute walk away from where we lived near Green Lake.
Right down the street they also had their farmers market going on, so naturallly we went. It was already getting too hot at 8:30am so we grabbed some breakfast and wandered the market. We got lots of veggies, soup/dips, and some carne asada for dinner/lunches. We also finally got a beautiful pot for our car plant Larry (not it’s axtual name, so I’m open to suggestions), and chatted with the vendor as he tried to convince us to get into ceramics.
The rest of the day was the best. Because it’s 100+ outside, we hung out by the pool reading, writing postcards, and enjoying the cool windy shade. I definitely expected to spend more time in the National Park, but it’s actually dangerous and miserable to try to hike after 10-11 am.
We had a reservation at Pappy and Harriet’s at 7:30 when it finally cooled off. This place was highly recommended because of the food, but also the live music. We got the last table of 2 they had for the night, and it was probably the best seat in the house. We were right behind the dancing area, which people didn’t use until the end, so we basically had front row seats while we ate dinner. The place was fun and we stayed fairly late before heading home and calling it a night. Our Airbnb host told us about a solstice party, but we chose the live music over the astronomy nerd solstice stuff (but it would have been cool if we didn’t have plans).
