Vacation ~ Part 2 ~ Olympic Peninsula

Ok, as promised... more pictures.  From Seattle we drove a few more hours west to visit the Olympic Peninsula.  Home of Olympic National Park - mountains, beaches, and rainforest.  Also home of those Twilight series - the small town in which the books are set, Forks, and yes I have read the books and well if you are feeling like a teenage vampire guilty pleasure then go for it - but I have to say I'm pretty embarrassed I read them (and saw all the movies...so far).  Ok anyways back to the more important stuff - pictures:

hurricane ridge - olympic national park

Bailey Range - olympic national park

deer in meadow - flowers - broad leaf lupines

We spent one night camping at the base of Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park, even though we had initial hopes of sleeping by the water our first night.  The park was great and we had amazing views of the mountains..

Yikes there are a lot of pictures from this Pacific Northwest tour...more to be posted later.  In the mean time we are up to our ears in bubble wrap, boxes, and packing tape - packing is not fun.
