Part of our weeklong trip was spent exploring the surrounding islands. So different from anything here in DC, it made for an amazing trip.
BAINBRIDGE ISLAND

One of Aaron's top five all time favorite meals was here, at the Harbor House, on the patio overlooking the marina. Aaron later hounded the chef until he gave us the recipe for his Killer Shrimp.
There were whole hillsides covered with blackberries. We foraged in public - it was fun!
The north side of Bainbridge is a beach reserve that offered one of our most memorable moments of the trip: We had been walking a while and turned around to walk back to the car and saw Mt. Rainier hanging out in the background.
MERCER ISLAND
Mercer Island is a suburb with beautiful homes, impressive water views, and walking trails. Oh, and slugs almost as long as Sarah's foot.
The ferry to the SanJuans offered even more beautiful scenery - it was almost mountain/water view overload.
This building welcomes ferry riders to the island.
