While You Were Here…

I’ve been quiet because I’ve actually been in Seattle/Bainbridge Island since last Thursday. For the first few nights we stayed in the guesthouse of NYT bestselling author Susan Wiggs on Bainbridge Island, one of the most stunning places in the U.S. We later ventured over to Seattle and stayed there while taking in some of the sights.

Susan is lovely and her home is unbelievable. Honestly, the view from the backyard is inspiring. But don’t take my word for it. Here are some photos…

This is what Susan sees from her yard every single day. Debbie Macomber’s house sits somewhere on that piece of land to the right:

Here’s a photo of me with Susan. She hurt her arm right before we got there but that didn’t stop her from being a fabulous hostess:

My hubby playing with Susan’s dog Barkis.

The view of Seattle from the ferry:

Here we are getting blown all around while on the ferry. Note: my hair does not normally go up like that.

An amazing time.

    Wow, it looks amazing! And you all seem to be having a great time. What beautiful pictures. If ever I get to Seattle I’ll have to check out that area.

    Amazing photos. Thanks for sharing.

    I hear from so many people that Seattle is wonderful. And lucky for you to have a friend like Susan - she writes so many great books.

    Thanks for sharing your photos, HelenKay. The dh and I were on Whidby Island several years ago and loved it.

    Those are some great pictures. I’ve heard really good things about Bainbridge Island. It’s one of the places I want to visit if I ever make it back up to the Seattle area…which is somwhere I haven’t been since I was little.
