Yesterday we took the ferry from Victoria to Port Angeles - back to the lower 48. We drove over to visit Sequim, one of our favorite towns on the peninsula. Sequim has become one of the largest lavender growing areas in the country. We visited a farm and also stopped in town at a shop that specializes in lavender products. We even had lavender flavored ice cream. Not bad!
We stopped at one of our favorite coffee shops and Mike sat and read discussion groups while I visited shops. When I returned he had a visitor, a butterfly had landed on his shirt. The shirt was bright enough to be mistaken for a flower. Remarkably, the butterfly stayed there until we got ready to leave. Mike had to shoo it away.
Today we drove up to Hurricane Ridge to see my favorite mountains. It was such a beautiful day that we could even see Mount Baker on the way. This is pretty unusual. I took a photo and if you look closely into the middle of what appear to be clouds you can catch a glimpse.
We saw the whole Olympic Range at the Ridge, it was so clear! We took a hike and stayed awhile.
Tomorrow we drive on to Neah Bay. It is supposed to rain later this week, but what great weather to welcome us back!
Gorgeous pictures! Did you get to Chestnut Cottage? I think that was the place in Port Angeles that had the world famous cinnamon rolls...
ReplyDeleteDid not get cinnamon rolls. After lavender ice cream we quit on the desserts.
