How I spent my birthday .... by Tracey Whelan


Crossing Puget Sound on a ferry from Seattle to Bremerton.  

Sir was so confused and concerned - seriously, how could he be in the car, and on a boat at the same time?  He didn't hear the car running but felt it and himself moving!!  Very confusing the transportation that day!



It was about a 45 minute or so crossing with lovely sights throughout.  We were a bit dismayed when we got to Bremerton however.  It seemed like there should be a "downtown" area along the water, but darned if we, or the gps (aka "smarty pants") could find it so we ended up having lunch at some "sandwich joint" we found ~ don't even remember the name and I guess it doesn't matter anyway now does it!







We and the gps could, of course, find the Elks Lodge in Bremerton.  The photos below were taken from their property, their beautiful property overlooking the sound.




The mountains you see from their property are the Olympic Mountains - another outstandingly gorgeous range.  The one still wearing snow is the Brothers with an elevation of 6,866 feet.


That's it for today ... two posts in one day is certainly my limit.  Stay tuned for more adventures.
