The Weekend - Saturday, September 22nd

Saturday we took Sandra on a little tour of Gig Harbor, Washington over the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge it only takes us about 15 minutes to hit the heart of downtown. The sun was out and so were hundreds of dogs and their owners for the annual charity “doggie-dash”. We had a blast looking at all the dogs and picking out which ones we liked best.

We finally got a spot out on the deck at The Tides. It was too wet the first time Brian and I came to Gig Harbor a couple of years ago and this past spring it was a beautiful day and all the tables were filled (with a waiting list). It was funny that they ran out of chardonnay (didn’t they know we were coming), but we stared out and the water, fantasized about the boats sailing by and the million dollar homes perched high above the water.

After an hour or so of window shopping and looking at all of the beautiful water-front homes we drove through Gig Harbor and down to Anthony’s were we sat out on their deck (we had the entire place to ourselves) and enjoyed a bottle of chardonnay and some yummy appetizers.

We ended our Saturday afternoon with Deer Park Nachos (ala Brian, even better than the real thing) and a nice quiet evening back at Westridge.

Sandra had a great time in Tacoma and really wants to come back!
