Food Friday: Vacation

There are some really great places to eat in Port Townsend.  I forgot to take a picture of my first meal there because it was so delicious looking and smelling that I ate it as soon as it arrived at our table.  The place with the delicious panini was called Jordini's Paninis.  I had the special, which had bacon, turkey, mozzarella, and pesto on it and it was amazing.

This is the cinnamon raisin French toast that I ate at Hudson Point Cafe.
It came with ricotta cream cheese and was all sorts of delicious.

This was the meal at the reception.  The chicken wasn't great but the rest was scrumptious.
The salmon had some sort of berry glaze which was just short of divine.

G got a savory breakfast crepe because he doesn't have my massive sweet tooth.
I had a bite and can attest to the yumminess.  I don't remember what was in it.

This was my breakfast crepe.  It had bananas and walnuts and brown sugar in it.
The brown sugar sort of candied the walnuts.  They use different batter for sweet crepes than they
do for savory ones which really makes a big difference.

We had the delicious crepes at a place right down the street from our hotel.  It was called Water Street Creperie.  They were also a coffee shop and served hard ice cream too.  G and I went there on Saturday for coffee and each got iced mochas, mine with whipped cream and his without.  We went for breakfast there the next day and the guy remembered what G and I drink, even that I like whipped cream and G doesn't.  When he brought out our drinks, he told us he accidentally made the next size up from what we ordered, free of charge.  We knew that he did it on purpose and it was a nice treat for our last day there, and we will definitely visit Water Street Creperie again next time we go to Port Townsend.

Vacation: Buildings

I adore the look of old buildings.  Port Townsend had some old buildings in really pretty colors and some other buildings I also took photos of.

I loved blurry photos before Instagram.

I love this color scheme.

I wish that I could have gotten a picture of the rest of this building.  It was like a castle on a hill.

Vacation: The Hotel

I went to Port Townsend, Washington with G and his mom for G's best friend's wedding for the first weekend of August.  We took a ferry over and stayed in this really pretty historic hotel, called the Palace Hotel.  I would definitely not recommend staying in this hotel in the summer, especially not on the third floor where we did, because there is no air conditioning.  There is a ceiling fan and a standing fan, but they are not enough to combat the sweltering temperatures.  Also there isn't an elevator, so every time we went back to the room, even after long days of walking around all day sightseeing, we had to climb three flight of very steep stairs.  I think this hotel would be a great place to stay in the spring or fall though.  Here are the pictures I took.

pretty dried white roses and antique furniture

the bathroom mirror was pretty and oval and gilded and I forgot to take a picture of it,
but apparently I remembered to take a picture of my reflection in it

stained glass on the ceiling; fun fact: I love to photograph stuff on ceilings that most people don't even notice

the hallway

pretty artwork in a fancy frame

the floor below; I'm afraid of heights so I took this by holding my camera out over the railing and not looking down

just one of the three flights of stairs we had to climb to get to our room
