This was a day trip to Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, and Fort Casey State Park on Whidbey Island. We really explored Fort Worden, but since we kind of got up there late (didn’t arrive till 1pm), we only had an hour at Fort Casey before it got dark and we had to …

Leavenworth, Washington
This trip was a Christmas present to the rest of my family. We went over the weekend after Christmas, when all of the lights and everything were still up. We use to do the lighting in early December, but have not made the trip for a few years now. They keep them up at least …
Belfair State Park
This state park is located just outside of Belfair, Washington, and is located on the east side of the southern end of Hood Canal. We stayed the weekend at this park, and I got a few pictures of the changing fall colors with it being the middle to end of October when we stayed here. …
USS Turner Joy Museum
This is an old destroyer ship that has been turned into a floating museum located in Bremerton, Washington. It is well worth the trip out, and like a few other of the things posted on this website, I have been here a few times. It is a really well put together museum, showing you what …
Potlach State Park
This is a state park located near the southern end of Hood Canal, just about five minutes south of Hoodsport, Washington.

LeMay Car Museum
This is a car museum located in Tacoma, Washington. I have been here a few times prior, and each time I have came, it is a different set of cars to see. Some of them are out of the LeMay family collection (the rest of it stored somewhere else off site I believe) and other …

Point Defiance Park is located in Tacoma, Washington. It is a large urban park with miles of trails and beaches, old growth forest, a zoo, along with numerous other features. I took an afternoon and took a walk along one of the circumference trails, a trip of a few miles around. The trails are very …
Port Ludlow
This trip was up to Port Ludlow, Washington. Originally, this trip was going to include Mount Walker, Rocky Brooks Falls, and Potlatch State Park, but going up to Mount Walker, my car broke down half way up to the top. So, on a steep, narrow, forest service road with a steep drop off on one …
