Today the girl and I had a "walk for exercise" or a "hike" as some
call it at a great local park. It's called St. Edward Park and it has
a great trail system for hiking, walking, biking or just about
anything. We did about 3.5 miles and had a great time chatting and
enjoying this thing called fresh air.
 
Here's a bit of history about the park and a few pics from the old iphone.
 
In the late 1920's the land for Saint Edward Seminary was donated by
Bishop O'Dea to the Diocese of Seattle for use by the Sulpicain Order
of Catholic Priests. In 1931 Saint Edward Seminary was constructed. In
1956 the ground breaking ceremony took place for a new Saint Thomas
Seminary designed by architect John Maloney. The Rev. Thomas A.
Connolly had contributed many ideas in the initial design that had a
major impact on the project. The Seminary was completed in 1958 and
became a school for theology and collegiate students. In 1977, because
of declining enrollment and changes in the education of seminarians,
the diocese sold 316 acres, including Saint Edward Seminary to the
state of Washington for use as a state park. In 1978, the property was
dedicated and received its current name, Saint Edward State Park.
Saint Thomas Seminary which is just adjacent to Saint Edward park was
renamed Saint Thomas Center and became a full-time conference center.
Saint Thomas Center is now leased to Bastyr University from the
Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle and is no longer used by the church.
Due it it's superb acoustics, the 5 story main chapel has become one
of the premiere film scoring stages in the US.
