I was thrilled to be on the jet plane on my way to 
seattle for 
artfest...you see, i registered for this event 
waaay back in 
september of last year...talk about lack of instant gratification...not to complain (but i will just a little) i haven't been on a vacation in 
waaaay too long...
my flight was, thank 
fsm, uneventful...all  have to say is 
i'm also grateful for 
ipods...keeps me from going postal on public transportation situation....
i met up with 
lisabeth who flew in from 
Anchorage AK to meet up with me...sun was shining and we had the top down on the convertible 
sebring....here are some pix from the 
bremerton ferry...

lb in all her beauty with hair flying in the cold breeze on the sundeck...

we arrived for check-in at 
fort worden and the first thing i saw was this automobile assemblage...i knew i was in the right place...


the car belongs to a woman of a certain age (in her 70s?) who wore a different crazy beany hat every day...it has happy meal toys, mosaics...even (my favorite toy) devil duckies (see left side of the pix)
we checked in, received a bag of cool 
artfest swag and i took some time to look at the gallery of art...the theme was woodland creatures...here's a look...


what talented people...all woodsy and delightful...

some didn't quite stick to the topic...


great 
nontheless...
as fate would have it, lb had friends from 
Anchorage sailing on the 
puget sound at the very time we arrived...they invited us to see their water craft... at the marina...


here's the cutest darn houseboat ever...complete with container garden and scrolled porch decoration...

we all ended dining in town at a great local restaurant instead of 
artfesting it that night....great choice...
more to come on 
thursday as i must (gulp) go back to work for a couple of days ...
arrrr...
