weekend with my art friends

I recently had a weekend art retreat with a bunch of my art girlfriends.....

I started out taking the Bainbridge Island Ferry from downtown Seattle. I haven't taken this ferry before AND they are doing all of that road construction down there because they are taking down the Alaskan Way Viaduct....I still drove straight there without even printing directions  :) 

a good sign for the coming weekend
