I had a list of things I wanted to do while I was here and one of those things was riding on a ferry. We had plans the first few days we arrived but then I started planning the rest to make sure there was time for it all. For the ferry day we decided it would be fun to check out Bainbridge Island. Also I chose the one day of the week it was not supposed to rain. Woo!

Despite the partly sunny skies it was still a bit brisk outside and even more so once the ferry started moving. We stood out on the deck for as long as we could handle it.

Once we got on the island we weren’t quite sure what to do and also we were limited by where our feet could take us. First things first though, we ate. We split a delicious and rather large omelette at a diner on the Island. The jam we piled onto our biscuit was my favorite. mmm. Then we just strolled around the downtown area walking in and out of shops. It wasn’t quite what I had pictured but it was alright.

Once we had exhausted the downtown area we just decided to start wine tasting, that is always a good time. We tasted at two places and by the time we were done we had to book it to catch the next ferry. On the way back we ate our cheeses, fruit, and bread that we had carried all day hoping to have a picnic on the island. It didn’t quite turn out the way I was thinking but we had a great time and I think riding the ferry was worth it.
