A Non-away Get-away

Spring has arrived in the Northwest. Nowhere is sun and soft air so welcome.

Ann suggested for Sunday we take a near get-away. So:

  • Ferry to Bainbridge,
  • 20 minute drive to Agate Point 
  • and the Bloedel Reserve (to which, despite Ann's 50 years in Seattle and my 38, neither of us ever had been before.)
  • A 2 1/2 hour amble through the reserve, 
  • followed by luncheon on the Winslow waterfront
  • and home again, home again.
  • Very mellow. 
If you are in reach of Seattle and have not walked the 150-acre Bloedel, (https://bloedelreserve.org/) do so; it's rated by USA Today one of America's top ten botanical gardens.
