Happy Halloween! ...and much more

First things first ... Happy Halloween!

Saturday: Bainbridge Island
On Saturday we went to Bainbridge Island.  We took a 35 minute ferry ride from Seattle over to the island and had the most incredible views from the Sound.  Once we were there, we walked around the cute shops, went to the farmer's market, and ate lunch at Cafe Nola.  All in all, I think everyone had a nice time.  The island also has many outdoor activities to do if you are so inclined, such as: kayaking, hiking, biking, nature trails, bird watching, salmon 'sightings' etc.  I'm sure we will go back to do some of those things soon :)



At the local farmer's market.

This lady dressed up as a baked potato to match her booth.


Once we returned to the mainland we stopped at the REI flagship store and spent, oh, two hours or so there. 
I think Mr E needs some spandex.
Sunday: Pike's Place Market
No trip to Seattle would be complete without going to Pike's Place Public Market.  You always see lots of interesting people when you go, it was difficult to tell if some people were dressed up for Halloween or if that's how they normally dressed. 
After Pike's, we went over to Fremont and had lunch at Roxy's Diner.  I seem to have ordered the wrong thing, because everyone else liked what they got but me.  *Tip: If you go to a diner, do not order a black bean burger. Get the breakfast.

A 10-person bicycle came riding by and honking. Looked
like a fun way to spend an afternoon..where can I get one?
