This Home Became a Restaurant! EXPLORING VASHON ISLAND in Washington

[@MissMinaOh]

Today we go on a last-minute trip to Vashon Island! I haven’t heard much about this island before, but since it’s my goal to check out every island possible in Washington State, we explore it. We check out the food scene, go on a nature walk, succumb to buying cool stuff at local shops, try ice cream made just down the street and support farm stands. A heads up: be sure to plan your visit accordingly as many businesses are closed on Monday and Tuesday (some also closed on Wednesday). Watch the full video to see the adventure day unfold! Since it’s a long video, you can refer to the timecodes below: VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: 0:00 Intro & Previews 0:30 Ferry to Vashon Island 1:06 Bokksu Snack Review 3:45 Downtown for Lunch (Nepali Restaurant) 5:57 Bookshop, Crystals, and More 6:53 Locally Made Ice Cream (Toasted Coconut is a must!) 8:10 Antique Shopping 8:45 Nature Walk: Shinglemill Creek Preserve & Fern Cove 11:52 Forest Garden Farm Stand (buying tomatoes) 13:27 Picking Blackberries by the Road 14:43 SPIDERS?! Actually… Webworms! 15:23 Yay, Lemonade Stand (call it street food) 16:19 Dinner at Bramble House (rural home turned restaurant) 18:47 Venison Valley Farm & Creamery (cheese) 20:23 Sweet Alyssum Farm Stand (flowers) 23:04 Sunset & Recap 24:11 Ferry from Vashon Island to Fauntleroy (dramatic style) 24:48 Trying More Bokksu Snacks & Making Art 30:57 Outtakes

Stay safe and healthy miss mina and mommy oh🥰🥰🥰 i really enjoyed watching all your videos😊

[@kathlenelibrado4311]

As soon i saw the notification of your video i immidiately click it.. my son and I enjoy watching your vlog. And even repeat it couple of times while waiting for your nxt vidoes. Keep safe Mina 🥰👏😍

[@rowel_patdu6551]

I love how there's literally no one watching out the farm stands. It's really a test of honesty.

[@TheFreshSoundsFlorida]

Yeah that's a unique approach

[@bustedkeaton]

Ive been to a farm that does that, its part out of faith, part because theyre so remote they dont honestly need to worry about anyone stealing, and bc they just dont have manpower to go guard a stand instead of work the farm haha

[@rowel_patdu6551]

@@bustedkeaton that's interesting! Thanks for sharing❤

[@elinorcackett2314]

This is quite common in rural areas of the UK. Especially Wales. Most commonly for freshly laid eggs.

[@jeffdiamsay6768]

Yay another vlog to watch before going to sleep. Miss Mina’s voice is so relaxing! 😀😊😌😍

[@MissMinaOh]

Wishing you wonderful dreams and amazing rest! 😴❤️

[@wm0rgans11]

I’ve been here on this wonderful channel for 5 years and I can’t say how grateful I am to be able to watch ms mina, exploring the world with you is an amazing experience! Thank you for bringing your joy to all of us here on KZbin !! ❤️

[@cattenshi4213]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching you & your Lovely Mom adventuring! The way you and your Mom articulate is just Art and sooooo soothing. I also loved your painting....was there a bee in the pink flower you bought? I eagerly anticipate each one of your vlogs. Even though travel is a bit restricted right now, even if you are exploring your home state, I look forward to your vlogs and wish you would post DAILY. So enjoyable.....

[@MissMinaOh]

Thanks so much for enjoying our videos and finding our articulation soothing! I don't think there was a bee on the flowers we bought. Didn't hear any buzzing in the car all the way back home, so I think all the bees got to stay together ❤️ Stay tuned for more videos to come! I'm working on the next one and should be out in two weeks 🎉

[@Dreaminclouds315]

Vashon is sooo beautiful. I went kayaking there and it was so peaceful and quiet. Wow how perfect to have the sunset on the ferry back! BEAUTIFUL!

[@audikittycat]

Watching Mina travel is my comfort show lol!

[@samimanasrinnafiza1142]

You are one of my comfort KZbinrs 🥺

[@rushikagadekar5831]

I also want to take a break from this stressful life and had a nature walk, its looks so calming and relaxing...

[@andrewsigler7437]

same sis

[@roblin6659]

Wholesome content as usual. Love the gouache painting at the end, the color scheme is gorgeous!

[@dennis4353]

Finally mina new video I been waiting for sooooooo long

[@MissMinaOh]

Sorry to keep you waiting and thank you for your patience! I've got another new video in the works and it will likely come out in two weeks. Stay tuned because I think it'll be a fun one! ❤️

[@k.d6853]

You're my favorite youtuber! All of your vlogs are amazing! Love you!! 🥰💕

[@quaziashikurrahman7221]

In the video, where you say your plan to board on the ferry after buying flower, I saw that Mommy Oh was listening very carefully with a small smile on her face. It felt like she was seeing her little daughter who has suddenly grown up to be a wise adult...it was heart touching. Though I am not sure if she felt the same ;) Best luck in your life and keep entertaining us with your lovely video...

[@basicallyamerican_80]

The food looks really good. Love from NY. ❤

[@jasminee204]

That gouache painting is gorgeous 😍 I'd never heard of gouache but now I know what it is so thank you for that. This was so relaxing, love the local travel videos you've been doing 💜

[@MissMinaOh]

Thank you so much! Gouache is kind of like watercolor in the sense it is water-soluble and can be rewet after it's dried on the paper. But the colors are more solid than watercolor. Both mediums are fun to work with in their own special ways 🎉

[@livingbehindamask6165]

Wow! The Locally made Ice cream looks so delicous!

[@jamessmith1652]

Great video, what a nice adventure. Though prefer walk towards traffic it's safer that way! You and your mom are the best!

[@allisonblair6254]

my favorite part was you and Mama's walk and eating the blackberries, and the little market stands, I've seen those on Mayne Island here in BC ... we bought some jam and a little bouquet of flowers

[@carl5624]

Miss Mina is the channel i always go when i was stressed i watch her videos multiple times!😅❤❤❤

[@obeliusdacquen]

i love how she refrains from speaking loud in her videos. Her voice is always so soothing and calming to hear. I love your vlogs soo much mina. I have been a fan since 2019!

[@Marceline-sw1yw]

Washington is such a beautiful state!

[@islerragu]

Miss your vlogs Miss Mina. Simply loves seeing you and your Mom.

[@janessaf7033]

Wow Mina you can draw so well! Love your videos! You and your mom are the best! Have a great day!

[@allier1867]

[@young-soonkim6730]

Good Tuesday Miss Mina & Mommy Oh! Your hair cut looks lovely and fantastic. 👍🛳😋🍽🍦☕🌸💐🌺

[@young-soonkim6730]

"Vashon" reminded me of the "Vachon Snacks and Pastries". My favorite are chocolate cupcake, flaky strawberry pastry, and towinkie... 👍😋

[@pausimone2391]

Omg! everything about that place looks incredible! bucket list for sure.

[@amonamaria2000]

Love your humor it reminds me of myself. I see things differently and what most people don't see.

[@anjanaanand895]

This is a testament that you have come a long way in your youtube career🤗.. Enjoyed this vlog alot🥰

[@leshokkills]

I remember picking cherries on Vashon Island with my family a long time ago and we had to weigh and pay for the cherries with the honor system. The fact that there was an honor system blew my Southern California mind 🤯. Great vid!! Love the Seattle area!

[@tinamariefarmer4419]

i ADORE you 2 together😘.. so sweet and relaxing ty for sharing!!

[@movingpraise275]

[@logisticcaddy1019]

Yayy so happy you're back ! 🎉❣️❣️❣️And Mommy Oh is so amazing ✨ the best travel partner 🙌

[@stonefly69]

Sidewalks....hahaha. Not in rural Washington! And be sure to walk on the side of the road facing traffic! 14:18 How to tell a blackberry will be sweet? Look where it attached to the stem - if it is white it is not fully ripe; if it is purple (like yours) it is fully ripe and will be super sweet (as you found out). 14:50 Not a spider; fall web worm. Similar, but different from, tent caterpillars. Thanks for a great vid!!!

[@taylormcd5444]

Miss Mina, Thank you for showing beautiful Washington state❤️

[@vaughnprecision]

Are you mushroom picking this fall..? I’ll be out picking as much as I can.!

[@Scor-ah]

Hahahaha I love how Mommy Oh lets you ramble on about things without saying a word...I love your Mother /Daughter relationship. Thanks for another adventure💗

[@thatmumusky1788]

Love your videos, Mina!!!!

Always excited to see a new Mina video, but rarely watch it right way. I save it for when I have the time to watch uninterrupted with tea 🍵😌🧡

[@Iamsh0rt111]

Love these videos! Food looks so good 😋

[@vpersona177]

OMGOMGOMG I GREW UP THEREEEE THANKS FOR EXPLORING IT ❤ It's so surreal to see familiar places on screen 😂

[@k.d6853]

The best thing is I get to know many informations about the things you see... Like the mushrooms and some insects and many more!

[@chrise2621]

I live on Vashon. Nice place to live, assuming you rarely need to ride the ferry. The aggravation from one ferry trip is easily enough to put me off from it for a couple months. I feel bad for those who commute to Seattle for work.

[@rude3057]

Your voice is so soothing, Miss Mina!

I enjoyed watching you and Momma-Mo (? spelling?) touring Vashon. I live in Seattle and have friends who live on Vashon Island. I enjoyed touring and seeing more of the sights than I usually do when I'm there. I forwarded your video to my friend so that she can enjoy it too from your fresh perspective. The farm stands, the shops, and restaurants you visited look like fun. Jenny
