There are loads of great B&Bs and Hotels to stay at near Gig Harbor.

We’ve found this site which outlines pretty much all of them: http://www.gigharborguide.com

Or check out reviews about accommodation in Gig Harbor on Tripadvisor 

If you’re on a budget – http://www.westwyndmotel.com - is by far the cheapest and nearest but may not be to everyone’s taste!

Let us know if you have any questions or need any pointers!

Mel took the the photo of this old couple in Paris in the Jardin des Tuileries in September 2007!

We thought it was such a lovely scene, we wanted to incorporate it somehow into our celebration.

Let’s hope we both live long enough to be that much in love! :-)
