island hoping

[susandennis]

This morning my brother walked until he found a Lime (rental) bike and then rode up to the bakery and brought home delicious treats.

Then we set out for Bainbridge Island which is a 30 minute ferry from here. It's a relatively easy walk from my house to the ferry and then from the ferry to downtown Winslow. So a nice little half day trip.





Winslow is really just one cutsie gift shop after another. And there is a yarn shop and a fabric shop.



The good lunch place has closed for good. The second best lunch place is closed on Mondays. The third best lunch place was adequate. I was also not that impressed with the bakery that was recommended to use by two different people but Bill liked it better than I did.

We walked and walked and walked - I will hit 10,000 steps before bed.

On the way home from the ferry, we saw this guy. I'm glad I have no idea how/where to buy his painting and/or if it is even for sale. I love it though.



Now we're having our last cocktail hour. He leaves tomorrow morning early. It's been such a nice visit.

You certainly had beautiful weather for your day trip! It looks like you'll have a lot of fond memories of your brother's trip.

Echoing lenine2... this really did end up being a beautiful day for that sort of trip, even it was still a bit chilly (although from what I understand, most areas got a lot warmer than we did... for some reason, it only got up to 43 here in the valley today).

And what a cool painting!!!

Glad the visit's been enjoyable for both of you. Seems like the weather played nicely for most of that time :)

Hope he has a safe trip back.

I agree--that is a really nice painting he's working on.

Wow that painter really manages to make the rather dreary cityscape look beautiful!
I am sorry your brother is leaving :( you sound like you were having a lot of fun together! Still, quiet time is good too :)

Sounds like a nice day trip.
And such fantastic weather for it.

An unusual subject for a painting, the mundane and everyday view makes it more interesting
