 Welcome to the MVP wallop. The acoustics in here are unbelievably bad. It's the ceiling and the walls and the floors headed from where I live, Edmunds, across the water to Kingston. It's a short 25 minute ferry ride. The coffee on board is surprisingly good and they sell breakfast sandwiches. We used to ride this ferry when I was a kid and the tree would always be to get a breakfast sandwich we were coming over in the morning. My grandparents live out on the peninsula and they have for most of my life. My grandfather's health has been taking a turn and so today I'm taking this trip alone to go visit them to go bring a little sunshine and show them pictures of my kids. These boats, these ferry boats have so many incredible memories for me as a kid. So many cool things to see. Right now I can see sailboats and another ferry boat just crossed behind us. You can see the train moving in Edmunds. You see fishing boats. You see sailboats. You'll see some of these cruise ships. Occasionally submarines or whales. They're an amazing thing and they're so uniquely Northwest. That's why I take so much B-roll footage in these blogs of the ferry boats because it's one of the things that's most special about living here. So my Astro Vlog message this week is go call your family, your friends, the people that you care about and tell them you love them and go ride a boat. The water's awesome.
