HA LOL! Skydiving indeed! -- we have such a huge state, if we have time, sure can try! DicknLeah also has a surprise for us tomorrow evening....just a little fun and rowdy something to do with horses she's helped me on
, but first things first or we'll be totally out of control here in our state, it's just too big!

So as we balloon to the Peninsula, I thought you might like to see what Puget Sound looks like from above. Makes you feel like this:








We'll be arriving on Baindridge Island shortly, at a magical place......

Bloedel Reserve is an estate that was donated to the public many years ago. It is meticulously taken care of and provides a natural habitat for many animals native to the Washington State Peninsula, as well as flora and fauna found only in our region. Many weddings are held here. The mansion is so private, photographs are not allowed inside. But you can take a viritual tour if you wish (I just can't download the interiors). www.bloedelreserve.org


Those are swans beside the lake.


And geese live a life of luxury!


Ornate gardens on premises.

I'll take that as a compliment I found something for you too!! I have taken everyone here I can think of. Just take the ferry to Bainbridge, drive off, stay straight on the highway, and about 3 miles in on the right-hand side, turn right (duh!) and that's the entrance promenade. (where is Ryan when I need him for a snotty accent??)

Oh, I've always wanted to go up in a hot air balloon!
Wow, the Puget Sound is so beautiful! It's wonderful that the animals are so well cared for and allowed to live in their natural habitat at the Bloedel Reserve!

I thought you guys would like that! Here are more views, and as you can see in the Fall, it is magical! it is only $3.00 to get in and it goes to the Reserve Fund.

Winter at the Reserve




Rigel, is this ok for you to rest here?



And Autumn!
