Poulsbo Wine Tour

For her birthday, E and I bought Margie a wine and appetizer tour in Poulsbo through Northwest Boat Rentals. We got lucky and got a beautiful July day, which had been quite rare up until that point this year. It only got better from there.

We had four in our party and were told that couple would be joining us. They called to reschedule as we sat waiting in the boat, however, so we had the boat all to ourselves. Shortly thereafter, Captain Spencer grabbed a bottle of red and a bottle of white along with a huge appetizer plate and we were on our way. We spent the next hour and a half tooling around Liberty Bay having a blast gaping at some of the gorgeous and huge properties that are built on it. We also loved checking out all the different boats moored in the bay. Who knew that they came in such varied flavors and sizes? The icing on the top, however, came at the end when Captain Spencer slowly motored past dozens of sea lions with their pups. The babies were so freaking cute and tiny that I desperately wanted to put them in my pocket and take them home. Anyway, it was a grand, grand day. We had the sun on our faces, good food and wine in our bellies, and the best of company. It doesn't get better than that.
