Port Gamble

Opinions abounded, and all were that it was a shame that the museum was closed on the day that we came to visit!

We had an amazing New Years eve when friends from Oregon arrived and helped us bring in the Decade. We had light up bracelets, poorly reheated pizzas, and ice cream sundaes with every topping imaginable. I worked during the day (hey..time and a half!) so it was wonderful to have such a laid back friendly group to share the events with.

On New Years Day we were taken out to a lovely dinner and Grant was able to go to the hotel with the kids and enjoy the games.

And since we were on a roll, we decided to go to Bainbridge Island (our first time there on the ferry) and drive up to Port Gamble. We were so thankful that a favorite family decided to join us! We spent some time on the island looking around shops and finding a wonderful bakery. (I had a Meyer Lemon Tart that was superb!) I wish I would have gotten some pictures of the kids, the girls rode scooters, while Grant had his heelies. It was fun for them to have a little freedom.

We ended up in Port Gamble to explore a historic graveyard in a picturesque setting (on prime real estate) and then a BBQ that was memorable for its flavors, its ambiance and the friendliness of its new owner.
