The art gallery is small but don't let that fool you. The staff and the docents took the time to explain their collection. It felt more like a guided tour and made all the difference. Their permanent exhibits feature many local artists like Aisha Harrison. While I don't have photos to post except a couple (Seattle during the pandemic), I would love for you to visit and experience it in person. There is no entrance fee though donations are encouraged. There is a bistro and a gift shop. On select days they have an outdoor market and a live band. What's not to like!!!

First of all, we love the museum as well as the gift shop. The museum is free, but will happily…read moretake donations. The gift shop has lovely handmade crafts, and is definitely worth checking out. The bistro Café is where we all this stop to get a bite of food. The menu today was a little sparse, they were out of dressing for their Caesar salad, they were out of tomatoes for the Barada Caprese salad, but they did have a tomato soup with an open faced grilled cheese sandwich. I opted for the polenta with pesto and a side salad, which was very good.

It's a pretty rare day when I get to play a country club course. Wing Point is located on…read moreBainbridge Island across Puget Sound from Seattle, WA. The club manager happened to be a client of my daughter's physical therapy practice so I got an invite to play when I went to visit. This course is absolutely beautiful. The course has a mixed history of old course and new course. Some areas are hilly and some are flat. Downhill lies and holes, I really got some good roll, and shot low 80's. As you can see, the rental clubs are immaculate, the greens and fairways are well groomed and I hit one about as close to an ace as I've ever done!! The Seattle area and the Pacific North West have some great courses. I invite all golfers from the northwest to swing by Arizona and give our desert course a try. Hopefully, I can return the hospitality when you swing by. Thanks again to Wing Point for letting me play your beautiful course.

Eleven Winery is absolutely adorable. The kind of cozy, welcoming spot that instantly makes you…read morewant to stay awhile. The vibe is relaxed, charming, and perfectly Bainbridge: a little rustic, a little modern, and totally inviting. The wines are genuinely delicious, but the standout for me was their Chenin Blanc. It's bright and beautifully balanced with notes of crisp green apple, pear, and a hint of honeysuckle. The finish has this refreshing minerality that makes it so easy to sip, clean, vibrant, and perfect for anyone who loves a white that's both elegant and fun. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is cute as ever, and the tasting experience feels thoughtful without being stuffy. If you're hopping over to Bainbridge, Eleven Winery should definitely be on your list. I can't wait to go back!

I searched for the best place to have lunch on Bainbridge. I hope they do not close until I am very old! Burrata salad to share between two or three is a non-negotiable. Octopus as an entree, very tender and not charred to death, has to either be shared or have it as a main entree. The puree below was amazing! The burger is made to temperature. An amazing burger. They are already upscale, but their burger buns are too thick and rich for my dad's liking. Maybe go for our basic Franz or something thinner and less dense (options for some). The mussels were amazing! The wine was great as well. One of the best meals I have had in a long time. Keep up the great work! Thank you Amelia Wynn!

The dishes were so special to the couple, and they really seemed to go above and beyond. Their lamb was probably the standout dinner dish -- I'd say their meats, breads, and fruits were all very very good, and their veg and salad game weaker. Their cocktails were fine to really tasty, though on the sweet side. The venue itself is a gorgeous forest with lovely walks, and the buildings are really in nice condition with interesting touches.

And my leader named Cassidy is the best she deserves a raise because she was so nice and she knew how to treat us and it was so so easy to talk to her I loved it so much.

There are so many options if you want to come create a ceramic piece of art. Adults and kids will both have a blast with all the options they have to offer. Karey (the shop owner) is also incredibly thoughtful with all of the art options she has to offer in the store. So if ceramics aren't your thing, you can always try glass fusing, mosaics, etc. In addition to daily drop in offerings, Karey provides exciting camps for kiddos (both during summer and the school year), with an extensive offering of art options. There are plenty of kid nights planned throughout the year, which my daughter (age 7) LOVES attending! I have also had two birthday parties at Heart and Soul, and Karey worked with me thoughtfully to curate experiences that my children were beyond excited for. You won't want to miss a visit to Heart and Soul for an afternoon or evening of fun!
