Ferry Ride

We haven't posted for quite a while because we have all 4 been sick this week with a nasty stomach virus.
After being couped up in the House O'Illness all week, we decided to celebrate our return to decent health with a ride on the Bainbridge Island ferry. The kids liked it as usual, and we just enjoyed being out and about.




As we neared the city on our return trip, two coast guard speedboats pulled up and rode in along side of us. We had heard rumors before of such escorts as anti-terrorism security, but we had never actually witnessed such a thing before. Don't know why it happened this time in particular. (Note the machine gun mounted on the front of that thing!)
