Weekends!

                                         Ferry and Wheel on the Seattle Waterfront

Most everyone looks forward to the weekend for all different kind of reasons. 

I would say a lot of people like to get involved in their hobbies or go out of town for the weekend. Sometimes it is too relax when you have had a busy week. For others during the spring it is to work in your garden or cut your yard. 

This time of the year there are shows going on that people want to see whether it is monster trucks or horses. I am glad that people have a variety of thing to do on the weekend. My idea would be to go to a baseball game either at Safeco Field in Seattle or Cheney Stadium in Tacoma which is easier to get to.

The weather has been more difficult this year with a lot more rain around the Pacific Northwest so it is hard to find something to do that you can enjoy. Of course there is always family that you can hang around with.

I enjoy going to the coffee shop in the area to see different people and find out what their plans are for the weekend. I like seeing kids as well and on many Saturday nights there is music happening at the coffee shop as well. Actually there are a number of coffee shops that live music is happening. In fact this Saturday night I am going to see who is playing and enjoy their music.

I had some friends on social media that went to the Tulip fields north of Seattle on Saturday. Turned out difficult to get to because of traffic accident however one of my old friends took the ferry from Port Townsend to Whidbey Island. Normally it is a long trip however was a smart idea on a day like Saturday. The drive to Port Townsend from Gig Harbor is about an hour and a half than the ferry ride is another half an hour. You than have to drive about another hour to get to the Tulip fields however they are worth the effort to do so. Port Townsend is actually a nice small town to visit as well and enjoy the day if you don’t want to ride the ferry. Also Whidbey Island is great places to visit as well if you don’t want go to the Tulip fields.

Western Washington has so many wonderful places to visit on any given weekend. Actually you can drive three or four hours over to Eastern Washington as well. They have so many places to see as well. I know that you can take a trip every weekend during the spring around the area and not see close to everything you would want.

I believe the best thing is to meet new people wherever you decide to drive. There are other things going on during the weekend that I sometimes have to attend like at church. They are worthwhile as well. It is nice to spend time with fellow members that I consider family as well. This happens best though when the weather is not so nice. Whatever the case for you enjoy the weekend in whatever manner you want. Most of all be refreshed when you go back to work on Monday. Weekends can be like another vacation however less expensive.
