From our home in Tacoma, Gig Harbor is a 10-minute drive across the Narrows Bridge. Our first stop was the Farmer's Market to pick up some inspiration for dinner. Somehow, the first purchase turned out to be a carmel apple!
Leaving the market, I noticed the Best Western Wesley Inn is right across the street from the site of the market. I had not seen this hotel, so we drove through the parking lot and it looks very, very nice.
From there it was down the hill to the harbor and the dock just below Anthony's restaurant to rent kayaks for a 90-minute paddle around the harbor. We had a great time on the water. A harbor seal popped its head up about 10 feet from Aidan's kayak and looked at him for a minute. We paddled out to the small light house at the mouth of the harbor for a view of Point Defiance passing the famous Tides Tavern on the way. The Tides is 21 and over only, so we had lunch at The Spar, one of our favorites for weekend lunch.
