Day 6 – we managed to get a lot of exploring done today on our way from Port Townsend to Seattle. But we certainly picked a VERY hot day to spend so much time in the car. It went up to 33°C. For my American friends that is 91°F. Before we began today’s adventure, we […]

Historic Port Townsend
Day 5 – We left our cute little apartment in Sequim this morning and loaded up the car once again, this time heading to Port Townsend. Our first stop was historic Fort Worden State Park. Fort Worden was an active army base from 1902 to 1953. In 1957 it became a juvenile detention facility! In […]

From Victoria to Forks WA (but with a few detours)
