Let the Vacation Begin!

K arrived today, safe and sound. We started heading north on highway 101. We're apparently going to be on 101 for almost the whole vacation. That's a good thing.

Tonight we stopped in a town called Sequim - it's pronounced skwum - kinda like scum but with a skua. They just shoulda picked a better name. K wants to stop here because the town is the largest grower of Lavender in the U.S. - we don't get what the big deals it... it's not even blooming yet. Just mounds of gray/green bushes. We figured she's just going to be buying last years stuff.

We drove past Discovery Bay and Sequim Bay and Dungeness Bay - there were lots of people out digging for clams. There was even a sign for geoduck clams. There were some guys putting on dive gear - may to go after the dungeness crab.

The flowers are really starting to show - there are white, yellow and pink dogwood trees. There are even beautiful rhododendron's in pink, purple, white and red. You sure don't see those at home.

We're in a cute little RV park - this one has a trout pond and a puppy play area. There are lots of dogs, maybe we'll get to play with them. Well, maybe later, right now K & D are in the box watching the NASCAR race.

Tomorrow - Olympic rainforest.

Daily Observation: No one would ever eat clams if they really knew where they came from.
