It was a gorgeous day to be in Gig Harbor riding on the Gig Harbor Gondola. John sang and provided information on points of interest as he paddled the gondola around the harbor. After the ride, everyone enjoyed a meal at Tides Tavern. It's also a beautiful view of the harbor from the ladies bathroom.
