Day trip to Bainbridge Island
Of the things I planed on doing during the past Labor Day weekend, only one thing got accomplished. That was going to Bainbridge Island. I’m glade we went. The trip turned out to be quite fun.
This was our first outing with the addition of Mango. We didn’t have an agenda or a plan before going. We figured we’d just catch the ferry to Bainbridge Island and figure out the rest when we get there. I found a local map in the ferry. With that map, we stumbled our way to Fort Ward State Park.
With Mango’s previous history on leash walking, I worried we might not make much progress exploring the park. To my surprise, Mango led us into the forest trail like an eager beaver.
Both ktula and Mango found something interesting in the woods. Mangos occasionally stop to sniff at leaves or dirt; while kutla taking pictures of big slugs we saw alone the way.
The trail is 1.2 miles one way. I think we finished the hike in record time because Mango was pulling us full speed ahead most of the time.
We had little time to walk around Bainbridge downtown before taking the evening ferry back to Seattle. Mango slept so deep he was snoring the entire ferry ride.
