Seattle
View of Giant Wheel from the ferry First time for us to explore Bainbridge Island. Took the ferry from Seattle - about 30 minute ride in a large car ferry. We decided that we would do some biking while we were there and rented bikes as soon as we got off of the ferry. With our map and advice from the bike store we headed out. This is not a trip for the non-bicyclist. There are many hills, curves, and you have to ride with traffic. The first 9 miles weren't too bad and we got to see great views of Mt Rainier and some beautiful homes. Stopped at the Treehouse Cafe for lunch and then headed off for another 8 miles. This part of the trip had more hills than we anticipated but we all made it. We only got to see the southern part of the island by bike so we decided to drive around the perimeter to see more of the island. Lynwood Center was our favorite spot - frozen yogurt, the Treehouse Cafe, and the pretty beach areas. Reminded us a little of Martha's Vineyard. Ended the island trip with dinner at Cafe Trio in Winslow and then took the ferry back to Seattle.

Mt Rainier from the shoreline in Lynwood Center As we approached the shore we decided that we wanted to take a ride on the Giant Wheel on the pier by the ferry exit so we got our tickets and hopped on as the sun was setting. Great end to an awesome day.
