Today at the Jimi Hendrix Memorial

The task this a.m. - hike up Cemetery Hill (yes, from the DTR on foot) and take photos of Jimi Hendrix's grave. Weather forecast for the week - it's gonna get hot again. This means awesome blue skies for great photo taking but definitely not late afternoon walking weather. These are just some of the few (ahem, many) photos I took. Wanna photo card? Head to the lobby of the Renton Historical Museum and they will be there on sale by tomorrow. I saved some great images just for them. $3.50 a pop - can't beat the price, and you know you have always wanted to go and check out our little gem of a museum.

(Turn left at the McDonald's on Monroe and then on the left to the Southeast is the grave, you can't help but see it - there is parking right there in the lot at the cemetery.)

Renton Historical Museum

The museum also gives out directions to the meandering public in search of Jimi. Hence, the cool photo cards for the fans.

A decent burger and fries, no less...

Doofers Bar and Grill - I had heard from a lot of the lads that this joint served up a good burger -and I was definitely not disappointed. Doofers has a seating area just as you come in the door where you can sit with the tykes, which makes it family friendly. So does the dozen plus flat screen TV's blaring all the sports that is fit to watch - you don't even have to entertain the ones you came with! The tarter sauce was homemade and awesome (it goes on my fries, and I don't want to talk about that), homemade onion rings and I hear the fried chicken is good eatin' as well. Hot sandwiches seem to be the most popular fare, some salads, fried chicken and they have steak and prime rib night on Fridays. I am going back...and Lynar over at her blog, allaboutrenton, will have to decide about the state of their fries ... : )
Head up Cemetery Hill/4th - that turns into 128th and it's at the corner of 164th
