Olympic Peninsula

This summer my sister and I rode our VERY FIRST ferry to the Olympic Peninsula. It was just the first of many fun things we did during this stint of our trip!

We had a blast exploring the beaches and Fort Worden near the historic lighthouse in Port Townsend.




We stayed with some dear friends, Kit and Warren, whom we met in Montana. They now live in a beautiful home in Port Townsend.
Yes, if you look closely those are BEARS greeting each of the vehicles in this picture!
We got up and close with all sorts of wildlife at the Olympic Game Farm in Sequim. As you can see from the pictures, we got to feed some of the animals right from our truck window!




We enjoyed a picnic at the game farm as well as had some fun in the gift shop impersonating the animals we saw!

A highlight of the Olympic Peninsula was visiting Hurricane Ridge. The views from the visitor center and on our hikes were absolutely breathtaking!


 I sang "The hills are alive"!


Although it was a bit chilly, we found a great camping spot on the peninsula.

 I had fun playing "Lumberjack"!

  2. Beautiful pictures! We hope you had as much fun at the game farm as we did in February. The boys laughed so hard at all the animals trying to get into our car for the bread. Looks like great hiking at the Ridge. We've been there twice for snowshoeing. Looks like we need to make a summer trip! So glad you kept posting from your trip!
