Day 20: Happy 4th!







Yesterday, we took a trip over to a wonderful little city next door to us. Port Townsend is an eclectic place with a really laid back atmosphere. There are plenty of shops, restuarants, and bars along the waterfront with little outdoor eating areas everywhere. We didn't know it before hand, but it was also the filming location for the 1981 movie, "An Officer and A Gentlemen". We were able to get a couple of decent pics of Fort Worden, where most of the movie was filmed. The old Fort is now a vacation destination, and an area where artists live and work. I thought the concert area was really cool. It's an old hangar converted into a stage.

Today, we have been mostly hanging out close to home. Later, we are headed to Port Angeles to listen to some music and watch the fireworks.

Hope everybody has a great 4th!!!...Ben
Me, too. Ya'll enjoy those fireworks! Star

  1. Hope you two had a happy 4th. It was good talking with you yesterday and seeing another area of the northwest through your eyes. Have some more fun today.
    When you see your son on Wednesday, tell him that he gave me a gift that I did not want---his cold. However, the hugs he gave me was ample compensation for the cold.
    We continue to enjoy your pictures and your posts. Keep them coming!
    Love,
    Dad and Mom
