My wife and I just prefer Seattle. It's a beautiful city. Great setting. You open your front door in the morning and the air smells like pine and the sea, as opposed to bus exhaust.

The Kitsap Part I

After we left O'Dog's wrestling tournament Saturday, we opted to ride the ferry back to Seattle. Our ferry was named Kitsap. Most ferries in the Puget Sound are named after local Native American Tribes. The Kitsap is no exception to this.


Bremerton is where Darrell's eldest son works, maintaining ships at this huge naval shipyard. That is, when is isn't stationed in Japan (as now), or Hawaii, or San Diego, or or or.....


Naval Administration Building?

Shots of Bremerton from the ferry. Very picturesque!

Seagulls: Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine.
Nigel: Oh would you just shut up? You're rats with wings.
