In mid-August we continued our mission to explore beyond Seattle and spent a long weekend on the Olympic Peninsula. What started fairly eventfully (the car battery died while waiting in line for the ferry) turned out to be a relaxing and enjoyable four days. In total we went on three hikes / nature walks, walked on two beaches, happened to find restaurants with live music two nights, stayed overnight in a caboose, slept in a cabin on a lake another night, and even meet up with friends one night for dinner. The best part was that all of this was only a few hours from our house. You can see a map of our adventure here.
Stopped along the way at the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe welcome sign.
