FLOATING HOUSES

When we were up in the space needle, one of the things we looked for, were the floating houses featured in the movie, Sleepless in Seattle. In this picture, they're at the top left of the picture, at the top right of the waters edge, on both sides of that little white building.

Next, we found the water on the map, and wandered over that way. There are signs every where about private property and some say no photos, so, of course, I behaved the signs. These didn't have those signs-at least I didn't see them. The whole area is great, except for the narrow street due to parking. This is one side of the street looks like with apartments, condos, etc.

The floating houses were awesome!



Most of them have decks or roof top patios and boats tied up along side.


Years ago, there were several floating houses in the Dubuque harbor, but they were nothing like this. Along the bank, are bushes and trees, a lot of them were blooming, and they only added to the beauty. There were hundreds of these, and a couple were for sale. Don picked up the fliers on them, and the going price seemed to be $750,000.

As you go further down the lane, the houses get bigger and newer.

I'm sure some of them are around a million.

Now, we need to watch the movie and see if we can find that one in our "many" pictures.
