Summer quarter 1985 as a ferry commuter. Lots of fun crossing it with a scooter when it was much narrower. And tomorrow marks the third year of my late father's passing. We rented a boat from Port Orchard that enabled a family memorial service to scatter his remains near the renovated Manette Bridge. It was his wish to be able to see the ferries and the Naval Base Kitsap (or as we knew it as Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, moved to Bremerton back in 1973). Hey Dad, now you're on Yelp! One my biggest culinary influences, seems fitting to write this post tonight (6/26/18).

Manette retains it's own identity even so, which isn't nearly as low class as the main city. Manette strives to be attractive and a mite upscale and mainly succeeds, but nothing pretentious, a comfortable village feeling to it all. The bridge has been rebuilt a couple of times so despite that it dates to 1930 today's bridge is not old (rebuilt in 2012), but it still has a rustic feeling to it. It used to be scary to walk across but now has a pedestrian walkway deserving of the name.

Greg was an excellent singer and she really appreciated his Italian dialect when singing. The tour was very enjoyable and Greg shared some local history while carrying us around the harbor.

We've attended the fair and monster trucks here at the Fairgrounds. The grounds and facilities…read morethemselves are great. What's SERIOUSLY disastrous is the parking situation. There needs to be some extensive enforcement of dangerous and downright stupid parking during big events. Just came here for an event last weekend and cars were parking three-deep, completely blocking in cars in the middle. Imagine one of those folks needing to leave, only to find they're boxed in by half a dozen vehicles. Parking in the grass, parking on planted tree-filled areas, parking in handicap spaces with no pass. The unfortunate truth is that the Fairgrounds was built for a smaller population in Kitsap. All the growth with no change in infrastructure to support it. Sigh...

They carry an impressive collection of rare and unusual plants, including one of the best selections of Japanese maples I've seen anywhere. What makes this place stand out is that it's not just a nursery--it feels like a botanical garden you can explore. The staff are knowledgeable and clearly care about plants, soil health, and helping people find the right plants for their space. Every visit I discover something new. If you love gardens, rare plants, or Japanese maples, Lael's Moon Garden is absolutely worth the trip.

That time went by in what felt like 5 minutes. The self guided tour is extensive and there's a lot to see. It was wonderful being free to explore and sit in the officer's mess and just look around and imagine the history that was discussed there and walking through the engine room imagining listening to the whir of the machinery while the ship was underway and looking at where these brave sailors slept and imagining what their day was like. I got to speak to a docent that was a gunner and he shared his knowledge and some great stories. It was truly an honor to meet him! We plan on returning, earlier next time, to properly explore this wonderful ship and piece of history. Very highly recommended!

The ship and the tour were fantastic, but the experience in the gift shop was extremely…read moredisappointing. The manager with short hair was incredibly rude and unprofessional from the moment we walked in. She was snippy with customers, showed zero friendliness, and acted like she didn't want to be there. She loudly complained to her staff about needing to leave early and made the whole environment uncomfortable. When we were standing in line--well out of the way--she abruptly told us to "get out of the way" so she could move the golf cart, even though we were already several feet back. Inside the shop, she threw items onto the counter when we asked to look at them, and when we decided to purchase something, she snatched it out of our hand. The ship itself is great and the tour was wonderful, but the gift shop manager is seriously hurting the experience. She needs retraining--or replacement--because her attitude is unacceptable for a public-facing role.

Nice little neighborhood Park. Playground equipment, Picnic tables, Green Grass, Restrooms, a path…read morearound the park, even a couple Park Benches. What's unique about this small little park is that it's a Community P-Patch Garden and Demonstration Garden. From my research I've found that it started in 2009 and has grown significantly over the last four years. The garden program is a partnership between WSU Extension Master Gardener Program and the City of Bremerton Parks & Recreation Department. The Land was known as White's Blueberry Farm, a commercial enterprise that harvested blueberry plants. I've heard that a small number of the original blueberry plants remain and can be found in the NW corner of today's Blueberry Park. This place seems like a great place for new gardeners just starting out, or for seasoned gardeners looking to share their knowledge with others. They even donate most of the produce to the Bremerton Food Line. It's worth a stop just to relax a bit and check out gardens that other folks have been working on.

The bartender told us about all the events they host there and how it wasn't super busy that night ( there was maybe 5 other people there in total .) We played a couple rounds of pinball and their mini bowling machine, which was tons of fun!!! UNTIL... Since we had such a great time, the first time we went, we decided to go randomly one night, not thinking about which event night it was.( completely our fault for not checking.) It turned out to be a karaoke night. The bar was WAY less diverse than it was the first time we went. The mic was extremely loud for how small the building is, which could be fun if you pregame or get your drinks down fast lol. A different bartender served us this time. I couldn't tell if she was intoxicated or just super all over the place. We ordered the same drinks we got last time, but they were made completely different and did not taste good. Overall, probably won't try this place again at least for a while. But I would recommend trying it at least once if you're pretty local & like Barcades. Drinks are decently priced. Did not try food. Pinball machines were about 25¢ each (amazing)
