This was a week long trip down to Tampa, Florida. I went in the end of September, when it was not to hot and humid, so it was a lot like a Pacific Northwest summer at this time. During my stay, I went out to Clearwater Beach and Saint Petersburg, walked along the Riverwalk, went …

This is a state park located just south of Westport, Washington, located in Grayland, Washington. It is a smaller state park, but is kept up nicely. We stayed here in a yurt, which was clean and provided us with more than enough shelter. Staying here in early January, it was warm, although do not expect …

This trip was to Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, Washington. I did a day trip here in 2019, so this is the more in-depth post mentioned there. The park is a hair run down, but is not any worse or better than how Fort Flagler looks. It is close to Port Townsend, so …

This is a state park located near Seabeck, Washington, located in the middle park of Hood Canal on the east side. This is a good waterfront park to say at if looking for a Hood Canal park not far from the major cities across the sound. All that would be required would be a ferry …

This post was where I took a few hours and snapped a few pictures of the Fox Island Bridge and Narrows Bridge. I took these right before the Coronavirus shutdown in March 2020 (Washington state would close down in a matter of hours), so I did it at the perfect and not so perfect time.
