We made Coastal Living Magazine!!

We have our flag proudly waving
this weekend


Well it proudly waves all the time
~actually~
unless there is no wind


But today there is wind
 Downtown Gig Harbor
there is just about always
~a little wind~
Can you see Mt Rainier through the clouds?


 My neighbor Mary and I had lunch at the
~Green Turtle~
where this picture was taken,
famous little place...
right at the mouth of the harbor


right next to the
much more famous
~Tides Tavern~

Have you heard of the
*Tides*
well if you read
~Coastal Living Magazine~
you would have seen 
that the *Tides* made one of...

~American's Best Seafood Dives~

1st in Washington State!!!
This is in the current issue...

Last month...
the May issue
~Gig Harbor~
had a 4 page spread in
Coastal living Magazine
Folks we are on the
~MAP~

This is exciting stuff!!!!!

Around here everyone knows about the
~Tides~
people come from all over with their boats
for an evening of world famous
~I can say that now~
fish & chips

In the summer my Dad comes with his boat
and a group of friends from Tacoma
usually once a week
and we drive downtown to meet him..

This is the  first place sister Becky wants to go
when she comes in town
seriously right after unpacking
we headed to town
for fish & chips
her favorite place


and their
~cosmos~
aren't bad either


~especially the 2nd one~

See their dock that is usually full of
~boats~
but not on this cloudy day



They sell
~T-shirts~

If you take your picture with their T-shirt on
in front of a famous destination
they will put your picture on their wall
they have hundreds of pictures of people
all over the world

I need to get this copied
the Hubs would surely get on their
~wall~
I love our little
~Gig Harbor~
Do you know what
*Gig*
means?
A small little gig would go into harbors back in the old days
to see if the harbor was deep enough for the big ships to get in
that's what I was told anyway..
~sounds good to me~

We are a tourist town with bed & breakfasts
lots of cute shops and a new museum..
just a short drive off the Bremerton ferry from Seattle
come see us...
we'll meet you at the Tides!


Have ya'll been having problems with blogger?
I can't leave comments or even post
most of the time...
What's up with that???

  2. We hear so much about Gig Harbour, but just never seem to make it on our trips to your neck of the woods - but if we do make it some day I'll give you a 'heads up' to meet me at that now-famous place!

  3. How exciting! Such a cute name too...Gig:) I love fish and chips, being English my dad is always on a mission to find good ones. They go up to Canada for the summers and he's found a few good places in Toronto.

    Your sister looks like she's really enjoying that Cosmo!!!

    Yes, we've all been having trouble with commenting and then everyone's follower widget went MIA for a while too. One solution for now, when you sign into your Google account to comment, UNcheck the 'stay signed in' box and that seems to help.

  8. I did have some trouble with pictures loading for a day, but that is it. I have seen the blank follower space on some blogs too. No comment problems. Patience I guess.

    I have been having blogger problems too, but they seem to have gone away, for now that is!!!
