After our busy, busy days in Seattle, this place was just what we needed! It was about an hour drive to a little island called Fox Island. We stayed in this charming Bed & Breakfast...it was such a beautiful place! It was just a little room fixed up in the basement of someone's home-it had a kitchen, a little living room, and a little bed and bathroom. When we got there at about 4:30 in the afternoon the owner had tea things all set out. It reminded me of a place you would read about in a book. It was perfect. It had a sliding back door with a small patio and then it had a little patch of grass with some lounge chairs. We enjoyed just relaxing there-reading our books and playing games. Then just step off of the grass and you're on the beach. At night the tide would come up and the water would sometimes lap up onto the grass. It was so quiet there. Just really peaceful and serene. Like I said, just what we needed after a few busy days.
We had our own separate entry.
The first night we got there, Justin thought that maybe he'd take a swim in the 47 degree water!
He never made it that night. Our last night he finally went for a dip-he couldn't leave without getting in!
It was fun to go for walks along the beach. I didn't know that my husband was so good at skipping rocks!
The first night we didn't realize that the tide would come up and we almost got stranded down the beach somewhere! Well, we wouldn't have been stranded, we would have had to swim to get back...I was surprised at how fast the tide came up! After that we made sure to only go in the morning.
It felt so nice to just relax on these lounge chairs. The weather was perfect-it felt great to be outside and not break a sweat! I also taught Justin how to play Rummy-he beat me but I called in Beginner's Luck.
The sunset was beautiful. We waited too long to get the perfect picture-the sun disappeared so fast! But it's still pretty.
I also loved that after the sun went down, it didn't get dark right away. I asked the owners about that and they said it's called twilight. We don't have that here in Utah but it was pretty cool.
While we were staying here, we went into the town-called Gig Harbor-and walked around the shops. It was our last day and we were both pretty tired of walking so we ended up heading to the huge movie theater to watch "The Dark Knight." If we were ever to go to Washington again, this is definitely someplace that we would stay again!
