First we swung by Piroshky Piroshky and bought a ton of delectable piroshkies for breakfast. I told Abe to buy enough for us and the Martineaus, and he bought so many they gave him a free tote bag. Sadly, we had zero self control and sampled them all without realizing it. By the time we met up with the Martineaus, there were almost no intact piroshkies left. Oops!<\/p>\n<p>After acquiring our breakfast,\u00a0we asked the internet\u00a0to find a church near us. Unfortunately, the interent\u00a0thought we were still in our Air BnB, and sent us back over the bridge to Bellevue. We did not realize this was happening until we were actually crossing the bridge. (That bridge, by the way, is so scary! There is just a little teensy wall between the road and the water below. Abe and I had a long discussion about what we would do if we were in an accident and flipped into the water. We decided Abe would rescue the kids, none of whom can swim, and I would drown after pushing them up through the sunroof to him. Then Abe got depressed and asked that we stop discussing it.)<\/p>\n<p>When we arrived at the lovely chapel in Bellevue, we learned that the ward there starts at 9:30 instead of 9am. We were trying to meet up with the Martineaus and catch the 10:35 ferry to Bainbridge Island, so we decided to skip church and make our ferry.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11752\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11752\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_2995.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11752\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_2995-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Happy to be on the ferry.\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11752\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Waiting for the ferry to arrive.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11755\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11755\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11755\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3001-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Mary does the craziest poses.

We stayed the night in a cabin at Sol Duc hot springs. The first thing we did after a peremptory unpacking is head for the Sol Duc waterfall hike. The Martineaus stayed behind in Bainbridge for some extra sightseeing, so we had a head start on them. We honestly thought they would miss the hike, but they were so fast and we were soooooooo slow (mostly my fault!) that by the time we reached the waterfall, they caught up! I saw a family with three kids heading toward us and thought, &#8220;We&#8217;re obviously not crazy to be doing this hike because look! Here comes\u00a0<em>another<\/em> family with three little kids!&#8221; &#8230;And then I realized, with great delight, that they were our friends and had unexpectedly caught up with us!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11779\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11779\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3045-e1496193414354.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11779\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3045-e1496193414354-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"At the beginning of the hike.
