Exploring

Last week my parents and Jake and I took a ferry from Seattle to the Olympic Peninsula to explore. We didn't know exactly what we would do there but it turned out to be a fun little adventure.



On the ferry.

 First we went to a cute little port town, Port Townsend. It's right on the ocean and has lots of cute little shops and.... lots of poop. Some of the sidewalks were white with bird poop. At first we were surprised when we saw how poopy some of the parked cars were. We wondered how long they had been parked to get so covered in poop. But when we returned to our car we realized it doesn't take long at all to get covered in poop in Port Townsend. Thank goodness for the cheerleader car wash on the way out of town..

White sidewalk and cars/ our car after an hour.

We walked around town, grabbed lunch at a cute little cafe, and went to a yummy cupcake shop for dessert.

Next we headed to the beach.

After that we headed to some lavender fields. Mmm smelled so good. We even bought some lavender cookies to eat and they were pretty good!

Then we drove up to the top of a mountain where we got an amazing view of the Olympic mountains.

We ended the day with dinner in Port Angeles at Bella Italia. If you are not cool enough to have read twilight--that is where Bella and Edward went on a date. Yes, I'm that nerdy. We called to make a reservation when we were like 5 minutes away. They said they could fit us in for a couple hours. We were so close that we decided to go anyway. My dad decided to try and get us in. He walked up to the host and said "Remington, for four." She got really confused and said "Uh, ok, right this way." haha good job Dad.

By the end of the day we had been gone for about 12 hours and enjoyed the pretty view of Seattle on the ferry ride home.

Have I mentioned how much I love Seattle?
