MORE IN WASHINGTON

From Friday Harbor we headed toward Olympic National Park. We went to Oak Harbor area to put us on a ferry to take us across Puget sound instead of having to drive clear around it. There was this huge bridge that connects the two Islands (Fridalgo and Whidbee), it was kinda scary going across it because it was to high and narrow. called for a reservation cause for oversize vehicles they suggested you have one. We wanted to get on the 3 pm ferry but they said they were full till the 6 pm one, but if they weren't full on the earlier ones we might be able to get on them, so we headed and our luck was with us and we got on the 3 pm one. It was really weird cause they put us in the very front so as we went along across the ocean it looked like we were driving across the ocean.

When we arrived at Port Townsend we drove for awhile and pulled in and stayed at another Indian casino. We're really liking them, cause they let you stay for free and so far we've won some money toward our gas fund. So we stayed at 7 cedars casino. Brent went in and asked for sure that it was ok to park for the night and the security person said yes and even told us where we could park so we would have electricity and all for free. Well by nights end which was just a few hours both Brent and I had won some money, $275 in the gas fund.
Next morning we headed the rest of the way to Olympic National park. What a pretty drive.
When we got there we stayed at a campground called Sol Duck Hot springs inside the park. It looked like big foot country to me. Then we went exploring in the tracker. A place called hurriane ridge was so awsome. The views were breath taking. These few pictures just do not do it justice.While we we visiting there, Brent found a new friend. He was an alright guy.
From here we rode to the Elwa valley and saw a pretty waterfall, Not alot of water this time of year but still pretty.
We rode on further and saw a herd of elk. They were right off the road.
All in all it was a really nice day. Tomorrow we explore FORKS and LA PUSH area so of course we had to come back and watch "Twight" again. Then I sorted my sea glass cause I want to make my daughters and daughter in laws some jewelry with it.

I'm a wife and been married for 31 years. I'm a mom of 6 kids 4 boys and two girls and a grandma to 11, grandkids. My favorite thing in the whole wide world is to spend time with them. We have a monthly family dinners where we all get together and have dinner. We take turns whose house it's at and then if it's at your house you fix the main dish and everyone else brings what they are assigned to bring. We have a wheel that tells us what we bring. You turn it to the one whose house it's at and then it shows you what you are to bring. It works great and I look forward to it very much. We also take a family trip, usually camping somewhere. It's always great fun. I'm a huge Utah JAZZ fan and like going to and watching the games. I like traveling and making jewelry and doing crafts.
