Ferry to Vashon Island

Day 1: Erica & I had breakfast at the hotel and made it to the bus on time with snacks, extra phone batteries, sunblock, a cooler of sparkling water/cold brew with cream. We were ready. We rode our giant Garden Fling bus onto a Washington State Ferry and went from Seattle to Vashon Island. The trip only takes about 15 minutes but it felt like a big deal and I was reminded of Lyle Lovett's lyrics about riding a pony on a boat. A bus on a boat felt as foreign. I took at 4 second video to show the adventure of it - sitting in a bus with water right in front of us.

The day was beautiful and in fact, we heard a few gasps at one point and worried something was wrong. Then a seasoned Seattleite said, "The mountain is out." That's what we say when you can see Mount Rainier. You see, often it's misty or cloudy and the mountain can be not visible for days. When the vantage point changes and the mountain comes into view, a gasp is not uncommon.

Tah-dah...Mount Rainier
