Olympic Majesty

Our July road trip started in Portland on Tuesday and took us north to Long Beach Washington for one night. The next day we took our time, stopping to explore historic towns, including the clamming/crabbing town of Tokeland. (If you want to go pick up that boat, I'll tell you where it is.)

We continued around the Olympic Peninsula to Discovery Bay where we have 4 nights in a super-comfortable condo right on the bay with plenty of time to explore the area around Port Townsend and Port Angeles.

The highlight so far has been a hike along Hurricane Ridge; the wildflowers were so plentiful and the Olympic range still has plenty of snow. It felt like we were in a Sound of Music video.






























We replenished our supply of U-Pick raspberries and took a look around a lavender festival in Sequim, We have one more full day before we head back south to Seattle for two nights. Once we booked the Worldmark resorts for this trip we decided to add Victoria BC so we will head up to Canada after the weekend.
















More as this trip continues.
