Gig Harbor





Hello Everyone I hope you have a wonderful weekend and you finished your Christmas shopping. Here we are having our first taste of snow.  I have less than an inch of snow. . By the afternoon the temperatures will be high enough where it will be gone, and be only rain. It will be another year where we will only be dreaming of a white Christmas. People don’t really like driving in the snow; I see the problem being more ice because we have a lot of hills.

For those of you who never been to Gig Harbor it once was known as a fishing village; however, since the mid70s it has become more for tourism. There are several marinas so Gig Harbor still has plenty of motor and sailing boats. In fact you can rent a boat or a kayak. The best time to come is in July; also August and September the weather is pretty good too.  What is really great is seeing Mt. Rainier in the background. It takes about two hours to drive to Mt. Rainer. When having visitors usually go to Mt. Rainer and the Pike Place Market in Seattle. There are a lot of other small towns in the area you can visit as well. Most of the time going to Pike Place Market we take the ferry from Bremerton to Seattle. I recommend everyone take the trip at least once.   I inserted a couple of pictures of Gig Harbor as well.         

I want to end with Proverbs 17:17 Friends love through all kinds of weather, and families stick together in all kinds of trouble.   

Have a great day.
