coastal vacation



Spotted these while walking along the boardwalk near an Olympic Peninsula fishing town. It's a nice little Norwegian inspired town, not too far from larger towns, so you have all the comforts. Great coffee shops with free wi-fi and very pedestrian friendly.

This cool bit of driftwood at the end of the boardwalk park. If you see it from the right angle, it looks like dogs or horses morphing out of the driftwood. Hard to explain, but if you ever happen to see it in person, you'll know what I mean. I thought it was pretty cool myself.

At the end of a long, very steep hike, I found this view of the Kitsap Peninsula, off Bainbridge Island. Along the way, I passed a beautiful horse being ridden by a local. It so made me want to go for a ride!! :) And when I got to the end (this beach) I walked along the barnacle covered rocks all the way to the left (the edge of this picture) and saw beautiful homes nestled into the trees. I ran into a woman and her dog, and talked politics, overpopulation and political correctness for about an hour, before I made the trek back to the top. After I regained my breath, I headed back to the perch for a yummy dinner and a nap. Now that's a vacation!!
