Bainbridge Trip

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

Our trip to Bainbridge was really nice. We had a few hiccups there, however.On Wednesday night, we changed my tire tube because it was flat.
1. Thursday morning, we had a really fun bike ride down to the ferry terminal downtown.
2. We got coffee last minute and found the way to the ferry entrance.
3. Seattle being perfect from any angle.
4. We were so excited and acting like such goofballs on the way there!
5. I got a flat and had to take a cab back into town on Bainbridge. And since we couldn't fit both bikes in the taxi, Nolan sunned and read.
6. It ended up taking a lot longer to get there than we planned (due to my flat) and we were pretty burnt out by the time we'd gotten there. We made pasta, lounged in the jacuzzi, and played my new favorite game, Scribbage.
The next day we woke up, ate oatmeal and went to the vineyard that was less than a mile away from our cabin. Bainbridge Island Vineyard and Winery was so charming. It was our first winery experience and such a good one.
Afterwards, we rode back to the cabin, packed some snacks and rode to Faye Bainbridge State Park, which is an amazing beach where you can camp and enjoy the best things in life.
7. HUGE driftwood at the beach!
8. Playing with critters
9. Acting a goof
10. Water was squirting out from the sand! Nolan had to investigate.
11 & 12. I love the Northwest. And Nolan.
13. After the beach, we came back home and Nolan made Nolan's Famous Rice and Beans meal for us. Also, Trader Joe's got my favorite wine back in (after having sold out of it) Chariot Gypsy, so we brought some of that, too. Also, its 5.99.
The next day we headed out around 10.45 and guess whhaaaaaaaaaaat! I got another flat before we got to the main road. Just my luck. So, I took another cab to the ferry terminal while Nolan rode. Once we got back to Seattle, I took the bus home and Nolan rode. Sad.
Josh is in a group called the Bicycle Belles which is a dancing bicycle group. Its pretty rad. Last night they organized a huge ride/party/dance that went from downtown to Georgetown. There were about a hundered people on the ride, it was a really good time. We rode to three different stops, where they would do a dance at each one. There was also a grill on bycicle wheels and they were making veggie dogs (for free/donation!). Incredible.
Thats all for now. I have to go to work now. Sad face.
Oh! Also, I need to take updated picture of the garden, because I was looking at the old pictures and everything is SO MUCH BIGGER now! I'm obsessed. And we have tomato flowers! And I planted peanuts a couple weeks ago that are sprouting! And a bunch of other cool stuff.

  1. What a beautiful place to celebrate! Wow, three flat tires?? That's an amazing amount of flats in one trip.

    Can't wait to see how the garden has grown. I call it my "grand-garden" because it seems like it's kind of like your baby so that would make it a grand-garden to me, right?
