The town of Gig Harbor is a 10 Minute drive from the house, but a 3 hour boat ride.  Jason and I had 4 days off of work for the holiday weekend.  Our only criteria for this vacation was to avoid humans, relax on the boat, and explore somewhere new!  We’ve been to Gig Harbor before because my parents used to live there, but places are always different when you arrive by boat.  You start out seeing a place from a new angle (instead of driving down a hill, you’re eye level with it on the water!), and not having a car forces you to walk.  You end up going slower, but seeing more.

I’m also pretty sure that this was the longest I’ve walked in a really long time, including some of the hiking we’ve done this year! 😮 I took a very random assortment of photos.
