Port Townsend


Since everyone was off for MLK Day, we decided to take a little trip to see something new.  One of the places we've heard about but never been is Port Townsend, Washington.  Port Townsend was a Victorian seaport that was once thought would become the largest harbor on the West Coast.  That obviously didn't happen, but it's a cute little historical town that was good for a day's outing.

Driving there, you go over the Hood Canal Floating Bridge and cross onto the Olympic Peninsula.  This shot is on the Olympic Peninsula after the morning fog was beginning to burn off.


It was so nice to see sunshine and the kids just wanted to play on the small beach.


There were beautiful examples of Victorian architecture.



And the main street was lined with cool stores like this great book store.

This will definitely be a place to come back and visit - especially with company!
