Gig Harbor, #Washington - #SaturdaySnapshots

Gig Harbor is a lovely little town in western Washington State, so when a hike was offered in the area, I signed up to participate.

Our group covered about five miles on the up-and-down paved trail. The walk took us to the top of the hills far in the distance on this cool, hazy day. 

Part of our route meandered through a residential area. The fog thickened as we neared the harbor.

During lunch the clouds lifted and gave us a beautiful view of the harbor. We enjoyed a yummy lunch at The Tides restaurant overlooking the harbor. I had halibut and chips. Delish! (Photo taken with my cell phone.)

View from the ladies restroom. (Photo taken with my regular camera.)

A beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest!

PS: I took some photos with my cell phone's camera and some with my little point-and-shoot, just to compare. I'm beginning to think my cell phone takes sharper images.

Gig Harbor, WA - Saturday Snapshots

Taking advantage of our beautiful weather while it lasts, my friend Nan and I ventured to Gig Harbor, WA, today for lunch. It's about a half-hour drive from our neighborhood to the MarketPlace Grille, a small cafe with good food and a gorgeous view. Here are a few snapshots from our excursion.

View from our table at the restaurant.

We walked a little ways along Harborview Drive and were
rewarded with a view of Mount Rainier, peeking over the 
trees on the horizon.

Since Nan and I share a fabric addiction, we stopped
at this delightful quilt shop. Beautiful fabrics.

Then back across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge
headed for home (with views of Mount Rainier
along the way)
