Round Up of Saturday's Trip
Jul. 19th, 2009 11:20 amThe auto-transcribe can't handle my accent, good to know!
It was a gorgeous day Saturday, trickily so. Even Mt. Baker was out!:
Yesterday, Josh and I headed out for what was supposed to be a few hours on the bike. We took the ferry over to Port Townsend, to have lunch at Fat Smitty's (best burgers in the area) in Discovery Bay, then over to the airplane museum (which was closed). :(
Made a friend on the ferry:
En route we stopped at a small bike shop, which given the great weather, meant a lot of older, classic bikes were out.
When I say nothing went right except lunch, don't think for a second we didn't have a good time! The afternoon ferries were canceled due to wind. 40mph sustained winds, with gusts, which makes for a crazy time driving a motorcycle. We headed up to Fort Worden, which was part of the infamous Triangle of Death during WWII, where I predictably took too many photos!
And a tuchus shot of hubby!:
Since Plan A (take Port Townsend/Keystone ferry back) was scrapped, we ended up with Plan B "Drive Around". Which meant, down the Peninsula and over the Canal Bridge (talk about wind!) then to the Kingston/Edmonds ferry. Then up 99 to the Mukilteo/Clinton ferry, then another 45 minute drive up Whidbey at 11pm.
Finally made it home after midnight, windblown and exhausted.
Our poor bike, the Boulevard:
