Vashon Island

We took a quick trip one Friday evening in late March for dinner. We had an excellent dinner at May Thai, and visited the Point Robertson Lighthouse. https://vashonparks.org/point-robinson Lovely park, and Denise and I got a private tour of the lighthouse - I think the caretaker thought she was cute.

staff quarters. one can rent these for a vacation house.

Sneakers was placed with his/her family.

One of the places we visited was a cemetery, Vashon Cemetary. This delightful bronze sculpture was on the grave of one Gene Amondson (1943-2009). He was a Vashon Island resident who made many wood carvings that are around the island. He was a preacher, and he was also known for running for US president twice, representing the Prohibition Party. The sculpture looks to represent some of his many lifesize wood carvings. http://www.geneamondson.com/ , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Amondson #history, #character #VashonIsland #interestingpeople

I also found this fun gravestone: Marynell Matt, https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/jsonline/obituary.aspx?n=marynell-s-matt&pid=166066649 I think everyone should have such an expressive gravestone.
