Seattle Day Four

Our original plan for Friday was to rent a car and drive to Snoqualmie Falls, but our plan of driving somewhere outside of the city was pretty poorly constructed and we realized we could probably do something more interesting with our time. So our alternate plan went into effect: Find a breakfast of crumpets, hop a ferry to Bainbridge Island, explore downtown until we were exhausted, take a nap, find a great dinner.

On our way through Pike's Place to get to the ferry.

On our way through, we got crumpets at The Crumpet Shop. I am far from a crumpet expert, but they were delicious and they made a mean in-house lemon curd.

View of Seattle from the ferry heading out to Bainbridge.

Of course the first thing we do is find crepes. Nutella and powdered sugar, yum!

View down Bainbridge's main street.

Found ourselves a wine tasting at the Eleven Winery tasting room.

We tried five different wines, all delicious!

Believe it or not, Bainbridge ALSO has an art museum. It was very tiny, but had a room of 'miniature and unusual books', and this was a book that was a small shelf of holding 'bottled cloud types'.

There was a small path around the marina that we walked along, where we also met a gem of a couple (the woman we are pretty sure was a mail-order-bride...because the husband said so).


Lunch at Hitchcock Delicatessen, which had some REALLY amazing sandwiches that were also too huge to entirely finish.

Stepped into a little local bookshop and found this wonderfully bizarre book, a fictional mail-order catalog for imaginary bird pieces.

The return fairy back to Seattle... boy was it windy and cold!

The Savor Seattle tour gave us a discount card to restaurants around the city, so we went back to Steelhead Diner and enjoyed some great seafood, including these AMAZING crab tater tots with horseradish sauce.
