Sunrise season is upon us! Well at least the season when I like to watch the sunrise.

There’s this stellar view in Gig Harbor that somehow, I always forget about until I’m looking at it again. Each time I wonder to myself ‘why is it I don’t come here more often?’.

Have you ever been out in the middle of nowhere on a clear moonless night and looked up at the sky? It’s pretty amazing! We are very fortunate to have lots of dark places to choose from if we want to view the night sky. It’s something we try to do at least once every summer.

We wanted to get some photographs of the full moon rise happening in a few days, and wanted to make an adventure out of it, but needed to stay in the area since we had to work the next day. So what did we do?

We decided to hop on a ferry boat and head for Vashon Island and Point Robinson.

Where are we going to watch the moonrise this year?

Every spring and summer when we can expect better weather, I begin to look for great places to view the full moon rise. We’ve found a few great places but this one we keep coming back to.

So where are we going to go? It was 4:15PM, and time was running out. We needed to make a decision.

The world was slowly waking up around me. The birds were singing, the horizon was getting brighter…
