Now that gas prices are back at feasible levels, you should think about taking a drive over to the OTHER side of our fair state. The Tri-Cities (3-4 hour trip by car, depending on how fast you drive and what the traffic on the Pass is like) is a great place to spend a peaceful Sunday afternoon. [Read more…]
This is the final part of our trip to Sonoma County (part 1 is posted here). We had such a wonderful time, I 
thought I’d share some of our favorite parts of the trip with you as part of my Sunday Drive excursions on Mortgage Porter. [Read more…]
As you may know, I was in San Francisco last month for the Inman Connect real 
estate conference. I decided to add a few days to my trip and make the most of my air fare expenses by visiting Sonoma…specifically Healdsburg. I know this isn’t quite a “neighborhood tour” like I’ve been promoting at Mortgage Porter…I’m hoping you’ll enjoy this post all the same. [Read more…]
Just a hop, skip and a jump from West Seattle is Blake Island. Last weekend, after our “drive by” earlier this month, we decided to cruise over with our kids to this State Park and go tent camping. Our campsite (#34) had views of Mount Rainier, Vashon and Southworth along with the ferry runs. We saw seal, otter, eagles and other birds along with hundreds of jumping fish. The Ranger came by to worn us that if we didn’t lock up all our food (the provide locking garbage cans–you should not store the food in your tent) we would lose it raccoons and otters. I guess they will actually unzip your tent and come on in if they think you’re hiding goodies. [Read more…]
I went on my first trip on our new boat, a 17 foot Arima. Let me begin by saying, I’m not really into boating–I can barely dog-paddle and have a fear of water. My hubby knows this (and I know I married a man who loves the water). Anyhow…it was time for me to "face a fear" and take a Sunday cruise. I thought I my first trip would be a quick hour tour just to get familiar with the boat…we stayed out four hours and I loved it!
We left West Seattle and headed over to Blake Island to cruise by Tillacum Village. All our kids have managed to go there via field trips–I have yet to experience it.
From there we went north towards Bainbridge Island. (I was only equipped with my life jacket and my flip video camera–so the pictures aren’t as nice as I would like them to be). The homes along the waterfront are incredible. My husband wanted to show me this salmon fish farm.
We passed the Walla Walla ferry on our way to Bremerton.
At Bremerton’s Navel Ship Yard, we noticed a couple subs along with other naval ships, including the USS Stennis (CVN 74).
On our way back home to West Seattle, we passed the "back side" of Blake Island…
Next time…I’ll bring a "real" camera (and a picnic basket)!
