The kids and I stayed with my SIL and BIL Mindy and Ken and their kids for a few days last week. They live north of Seattle and while we were there we took the kids to ride the ferry.
There’s a ferry terminal near their house so the outing was very simple. We parked the car, walked on the ferry and enjoyed the 20-minute trip to the other side of the sound.
E and Mimi both got a kick out of standing on deck and being out in the wind. It was remarkably windy–Mimi would wrap her fingers through the grills on the railing and laugh and laugh as she was almost blown off her feet.
When the ferry docked at Kingston, the little town on the other side of the sound, we all got scoops of gelato/sorbet. And then we caught the next ferry back.
It was a lovely little trip.
Such cute pictures! Oh, and Mindy wuz here
Mindy, stay cool! And have a great summer!
(and you're very sweet to comment!)
How fun! We took the ferry from Vancouver to Victoria last year, and it was beautiful!
Ah, my home state. Every time we had new visitors we always took them on ferry rides. Usually to Bremerton. Ironically I'm not even sure I've set foot on shore there!
