Ferry, Pizza, & Ice Cream

This date combines three really great things- a scenic ferry ride, pizza, and famous ice cream.  The adventure begins at Pier 52 along the Seattle waterfront- the Seattle Ferry Terminal.  Purchase walk on tickets to Bainbridge Island and enjoy beautiful scenery as the ferry taxies you across Elliott Bay.  Once you arrive on the island, you will have plenty of time to explore the shops and beauty of the small town of Winslow.  Along the way, grab a slice (or whole) pizza from the cute little pizza shack, “That’s A Some Pizza”.  There is both indoor and outdoor seating available along this quaint tree lined street.  As you continue your walk along Winslow Way, there will be plenty of boutiques selling art and clothing.  An ice cream cone is a perfect ending to this fun date.  Stop at Mora’s Creamery for some fresh churned dessert.  I must warn you, there are so many delicious and unique flavors that it can be difficult to decide which one you want!  In addition to traditional flavors there are unique flavors such as lavender, ginger, and grapefruit.  One of my personal favorites is mora (blackberry).  Make your way back to the ferry terminal to return to Seattle.  I especially love coming back in the evening because the Seattle skyline looks amazing!
This is also a great family date, double/group date, or fun activity for out of town guests.
Our spouse and families should be a high priority.  We can deepen and strengthen our relationships as we simply spend time together.  I love this quote from President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “We build deep and loving family relationships by doing simple things together, like family dinner… and by just having fun together.  In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time.  Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home.  We talk with, rather than about, each other.  We learn from each other, and we appreciate our differences as well as our commonalities.”
Take some time this week with your spouse to have fun and show your love.
