We started out this morning with a little bit of rain - but it cleared and turned into alot of sunshine. The weather is great - high of 60's low of 40's. Wonderful.
We drove into the Olympic National Forest - to Hurricane Ridge. The road goes up toward Mount Olympus (didn't find the Greek god up there). The road was clear and beautiful - but it was snowing a little at the top. We saw lots of black tail deer and lots of pretty birds.
Then we took another road into the Forest at a much lower elevation... beautiful glacier fed rivers and lakes. The glacial melt makes the water SO blue, K just can't stop taking pictures. We even saw a beautiful waterfall - so beautiful that K actually got out the tripod to take a picture that made the water blurry. Pretty.
We also drove to the Purple Haze Lavender Farm on Bell Bottom Lane. (no fooling) What a delightful place. K and Lani have bought stuff from them on the internet - so it was really cool to see them in person. As a matter of fact while we were there K called Lani so she could see K & D on the farms web cam. It worked - K & D were standing out in a field of little lavender plants - looking like they were waving to someone - but no one was there. Crazy people.
Daily Observation: Everyone should have some lavender in their lives - it has such a calming effect. Or is it the vacation. Woof!
