The first day of fall was yesterday and Seattle weather sure seemed to know about it. We went from sunny and 70’s to rainy and 50’s-60’s as soon as the season changed.

Nick and I went to Magnuson Park yesterday for a couple reasons: we wanted to go for a walk and Friends of The Seattle Public Library was having a book sale in the hangar (Magnuson Park is a former Navy airfield). Just as we started walking, the rain began. We were soaked by the time we got to the book sale, but we still enjoyed the walk and it was kind of nice to be in the rain.

The book sale was a lot bigger than we were expecting! The hangar is 20,000 sq ft and every inch was packed with books and people. The picture on the right shows maybe half of the book sale and there were a lot more people when we were there.

I think we spent an hour and a half browsing through the books before coming home with a big bag full of them (see photo at the top) – everything for under $10! What a deal!
