Port Townsend with the Feet & Forks


The Feet & Forks went to Port Townsend, WA,  looking 
for color and light on a grey day and we found a 

PASTRY HAPPY HOUR!!!


It was at the Courtyard Cafe at 230 Quincy Street just off Water Street. Between the four of us we bought about 10 pastries -- some to take home, of course. I had a huge slab of German chocolate cake and brought an awesome cinnamon roll home for this morning. I forgot to get photos of them and now they're history. Here's the cafe's story and menu: www.courtyardcafept.com

The Courtyard Cafe in Port Townsend.
We also toured the historic Palace Hotel and were amazed at how big it was inside, considering that from the front it looks much smaller and not worth a second glance. It was warm and Christmasy inside, and the rooms were each unique and quite spacious.


Here we are in the lobby, and below is just one of several homey gathering areas. I can definitely see staying there sometime.


The rooms all had quilts and antique furnishings.


Port Townsend is full of beautiful old homes, including this one in the Uptown area:


In case you're wondering, we did do some walking in between lunch and dessert, including this set of stairs leading from the waterfront to Uptown. Cheers!



 Have a colorful day
