one last thing before I quit

Day Eight, the last real day in Seattle. ugh. Time flies when you're somewhere awesome.

After enjoying a delicious apple turnover from a little grocery store near by, we quickly made our way back to Pike Place Market, just so I could pick up two of the hats that Mr. Dan had worked on the night previous. I also picked up another on while I was there, of a few spray cans with the Seattle skyline in side. Stay tuned for a short post on this guy, with pictures, as it'll make more sense then.

After the hats, we took the free bus further down 1st Ave and stopped at the Central Saloon, just so i could get a picture of it. It's the city's oldest pub and where Nirvana played their first ever show in Seattle. From there, we walked a couple blocks to the piers and made our way to the ferry. We had planned to do this at some point on the trip, and we were just waiting for the right weather to do so.

We got on a massive ferry, with room for cars as well, and made our way over to Bainbridge Island. It was about a 25 minute ride, with about 10 minutes for loading and unloading. It was super cheap, about $14 for two people, round-trip even! The Seattle skyline looked gorgeous, and between the trip there and back, we saw the beautiful Olympia National Park mountains in the west, as well as Mount Rainier on the east. As for Bainbridge itself, we were in a town called Eagleton, a nice little cottage-esque feeling and view. We had dinner at a place with not the best service, but it was still ok, because we weren't in a rush. There were a few stores we stopped in, but nothing terribly exciting. We were just looking for a reason to get out of Seattle, and this was perfect. The front of the boat was super windy, which was fun for a while too. The sun was out and feeling nice as well. It was a beautiful day.

We wrapped up the day by just packing our things and we just ordered a pizza in. We had both been craving a pizza on and off during the trip, but figured we'd try to eat more local food, mainly seafood, when possible. But we decided that something quick would be nice, plus we could save a couple bucks from eating out, as well as relax indoors and figure out how much 50 pounds in a suitcase felt like.
