Today is a big day, it is the 1654th birthday of Augustine of Hippo and in 1851, the Denny Party landed at Alki. Sadly I don't have any photos of St. Augustine, so the Bishop of Hippo will not featured today, even if he is probably more interesting than the Arthur and David Denny. But since I do have lots of photos of the fair city of Seattle, we'll focus on that. Read Confessions, if you would like to know more about Augustine. On this date the Dennys, along with the Lows, Terrys, Bells and a Boren, set foot on Alki, there they were greeted by David Denny's warm words of welcome, "I wish you hadn't come." Good times. And from that, the Jet City was born. Read the Sons of the Profits for more amusing antics of the founding families.
Enjoy and thanks for coming
