We picked up some lunch from Other Coast Cafe in Ballard. It was crazy busy, so we took our sandwich to eat on picnic bench near the Ballard Locks. We attempted to join up with a ranger-led tour, but we ditched it after a few minutes because the ranger was super boring. The locks were fairly crowded; we did get a chance to see them open and close the locks. The salmon ladder was extremely crowded, but there wasn't much to see since it was the season for salmons to be traveling.
For our evening, we tried to get dinner at a sports bar across from the Space Needle after Billy completed his mission of finding free parking, but it was closed due to a power outage. Our next attempt was at a small Greek restaurant across from sports bar. They were not able to handle the number of people so we did not get waited on, and we left. Finally, we ended up at a fast food taco place. It wasn't great, but it was food. We then made our way over to Key Arena to see The Bravery and Green. The line to get in was extremely long so Billy ventured off to try to find a shorter line. I didn't have my cell phone, and the line started to move quickly once he left. Luckily he left me with my ticket, so I borrowed a phone from some people behind me to let him know I was going in. We met up at our seats. The Bravery opened up, and I enjoyed them while Billy wasn't impressed. Green Day's show was basically a repeat of the American Idiot tour with some of their new songs. I love Green Day, but I think that I will be taking a break from their shows.
After the show, we called it a night.
