On the Summer Solstice this year Mother Nature gave us the most incredible whole day of gorgeous summer weather.  The Port of Kingston Marina was fantastic with Mount Rainier shining in the background.  Even the commuters unloading from the ferry were strolling, not hurrying.

This sign in this summer weather probably made golfers long to be on the golf course.  That Kingston Rotary event must have done quite well with a large turnout.  The White Horse Golf Club is beautiful and offers a  free Edmonds/Kingston Golf Shuttle for golfers coming from the other side of Puget Sound.  The Pro Shop is open seven days a week and you can reserve your tee times online.

Kingston has a new bakery in town!  Just what we have wanted for so long.  It is located in the Old Kingston Hotel at First and Washington.

This new bakery is a combination of bakers and businesses under one roof from what I gathered on my visit.

Mirracole Morsels is a family owned baking company, serving the local community with natural morsels of goodness.  I spoke with Nicole Matheson while I was there and she is the provider of the wonderful cookies (we shared a raisin oatmeal because of the extra large size) and their famous granola.  Lacey Menne of Borrowed Kitchen Bakery is the baker of the breads.  We purchased a tomato baguette which we took home and made a super sandwich out of brie cheese and tomatoes.

The view from the deck of the bakery is fantastic, overlooking the Kingston-Edmonds ferry and the Port of Kingston.  This will be a wonderful place for breakfast, lunch, or snack times in the summer.  I can’t wait to sit out on the deck or in the garden and enjoy their great pastries with a cup of coffee, which by the way comes from Cup & Muffin just down the street.
