Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall

Tacoma Ruston Way Waterfront

It is that time again, when the summer heat was yesterday and rain becomes a part of everyday routine. Fall is coming to the Northwest. I already counted last weekend as the last day of summer. While the sun was still up and coat was not mandatory, I wanted to spend outside as much as I could. So, I dragged Kimmy to the Ruston Way for a walk and to check out Tacoma Moon Festival taken place at the Chinese Reconciliation Park.

We got some mooncakes from a vendor at the festival. The filling is lotus seed paste with salty egg yolk. The sweetness is just right, and the cake is delicious when pairing with a hot cup of lotus tea.
