“The angel said to the woman, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen just as He said.” – Matthew 28:5-6a

Early in the afternoon Gino wanted to go for a drive and so we headed west to Gig Harbor and Fox Island.

We stopped at the Fox Island fishing pier…

Fox Island Fishing Pier.
The black and white photo is what it used to look like; the aerial
shot in color is what it looks like today.

Looking northwest toward the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and the Sound.

A very nice sloped hike down to the pier. Pretty place to picnic with tables and bathrooms.

View from the top of the pier toward the Narrows Bridge.
Fishing from the pier must be popular.

The driftwood was gorgeous… wish I could take a piece home.

After hiking back up to the top, we drove over to Fox Island Sand Spit.

More of the same shells but a lot more of them (bigger too)!

This tree stump looked and felt like paper.
So brittle it could break.

Her beach combing finds.
A few large shells, a sand dollar, a few hermit crab shells and some smaller ones.

We also brought home a spider!?!….

No! it’s a baby crab!
Isabel thought it was a spider though and she wouldn’t go near the bag.
