Downtown
















Wednesday I had intentions of going to Bainbridge and visiting my friend. Unfortunately, like all great goals, life gets in the way. If I would have left 2 minutes sooner I could have made it. I changed during work and I was very quick running my items to the car. That day I felt the beginning of a cold. Usually I convince my body that it's just allergies and the cold goes away. This felt different though, and I knew it was legit. I knew I was in a hurry to catch the 5:30 Ferry but I wasn't going to push myself for fear of instigating the cold. I was quick and efficient, but it wasn't enough. I arrived just as the bridge was being lifted. The next ferry wasn't for an hour and that only gave me an hour in Bainbridge before I had to head back and meet Ryan. I decided just to head home, relax, have some tea, and watch Legend of the Seeker. These are some of the photos I took along the way. The city is so amazing when you slow down and actually look at it vs. rushing from one place to the next.

Sailing Lessons
















Ryan took "sailing lessons" last Thursday. We have a friend at work who owns a boat. He offered to take a few of the guys out and teach them the "ropes"- no pun intended. Ryan learned a lot and had a super time. At one point the boat tipped so low that the sails were in the water. You can see in one of the photos an idea of just how low the boat was going. The amount of wind and the rough water made for "tactical beer drinking" said Ryan.
