Bainbridge Island and Other Fun

Not being able to access a computer when I want is a pain! Oh well, you deal...you move on. Sarah and I went to Bainbridge Island a couple of Saturdays ago. I love riding the ferry. Just being on the water is the main thing. It's nice. There was a group of preadolescent football players on the boat. On the way back, they discovered that if they spit into the wind, it came back at them. They, of course, delighted in this grossness. Once on the island, Sarah and I explored the various shops and such in a town called Winslow. Lunch was at the Streamliner Diner where they only take cash or checks and the waitresses roll their eyes at you if you don't order fast enough. To your left is a picture of the view from the ferry of the skyline. We haven't gotten our pics developed yet so this one was snagged off the internet. I'll post some of our pics when I get them back.
After a nice day there, we came back, hit a gallery or two downtown, then went to Adam and Heather's new house for prawns. (We calls 'em shrimp down south) It was a nice time and their house has a kickin' view of the surrounding area.
This past Saturday, we met my friends Chuck and Andrea at the aquarium. (with their two kids, Tommy and Chrissy) It was fun but too short a visit. They invited us up to Whidbey where they live for a weekend. Here's hoping we can find the time to go sometime.
We're doing our best to see all the sights and sounds that Seattle has to offer a couple of financially challenged folks. One day we'll get it all done.
