Jul 16, 2012 - Olympic Moments

The state of Washington is full of beauty. I love the gigantic trees, trails and waterways. Olympic National Park provides many opportunities to get out and explore. During our stay, Sam decided to work toward earning his Junior Ranger pin for Olympic National Park. This is accomplished through completing a number of activities in a booklet designed by the park rangers. These activities sometimes include writing down plant and animal species while hiking, or learning about water conservation and recycling. He was also required to attend a...

We had a very short travel day today, we only moved about 50 miles to Poulsbo, WA. We will be staying here for a few days before moving on to Idaho. We wanted to be closer to Seattle to take Vickie and Sammy back to the airport. We all enjoyed shopping in Poulsbo today, our favorite place in town is the famous Sluys Bakery. Sammy had a hard time deciding which treats to buy. :-) We will be doing a lot of exploring in the Seattle area this week. Check back later for more from Washington.

Jul 10, 2012 - Poulsbo, WA

We are west of Seattle. Lots of water and mountains. Our campground is outside a very sweet town called Poulsbo. Charles' Navy buddy John Olson and his wife Lisa liver here. John is a fellow traveler. He recreated John Steinbeck's 1960 American Road Trip a few years ago and wrote a book about his adventures called "Down John's Road". My book collection is growing. I thought I would do a lot more reading than I have. John introduced us to Sequim (pronounced Sqwim).

Jul 31, 2011 - Washington State

After an overnight stop at Wolf Lodge RV Park in Idaho, we made it to Poulsbo, Washington on July 27th (a day early). Saturday I went to a regional Swift Boat Reunion at Bill Rogers home in Gig Harbor, Washington. I saw a crew mate from my time in Vietnam, John Pank. Had not seen him since June 1969. Have been having a great time with the grand-kids. Pictures of them later. Only glitch we have had was getting a temp pass to the base. The sticker registration is not sufficient proof of ownership for the military. So I am having Travis...

Today we drove about 40 miles from Sequim to visit the Scandinavian town of Poulsbo, Washington. The town has a long history as a destination for immigrants from Scandinavia, particularly Norway and Finland. Downtown Poulsbo maintains a Scandinavian theme in its shops and restaurants, and is a popular regional tourist destination. One of its local products is now available worldwide, Poulsbo Bread, originally made in the local bakery. Many visitors arrive by boat; there are three marinas near the town, and the town's harbor is an excellent...

Sep 16, 2009 - Poulsbo and the Olympic Peninsula

We spent a week in Poulsbo on the Olympic Peninsula. While there we visited Port Angeles, Sequim and Port Townsend, three towns along the Strait of Juan de Fuca on the Northern edge of the peninsula. Port Townsend was especially fun as they were having their annual Wood Boat Festival, we got to see alot of really cool boats sailing in the harbor. Pretty neat! The whole town of Port Townsend is on the National Register of Historic Places and dates from the 1860's. Also in the Port Townsend area is Ft. Flagler and Ft. Worden. Both are state...

Well, after lots of work and planning...we are finally leaving Poulsbo, WA. It almost seems surreal but our long awaited road trip is beginning and our five years living in Washington State has come to an end. We enjoyed living here, made great friends, and have so many wonderful memories. One door closes and many, many more open... Time to hit the road and take the LONG way home...yippee!
