Port Angeles- Olympic National Park

Our adventure to Port Angeles took a bit longer than we hoped. The map led us to a road that was closed. That was a huge bummer and added an extra hour to our trip. We got lost trying to find our way back to the highway and found ourselves down a dead end road looking for a place to turn around a giant 40 foot 5th wheel. Ya- that was fun. We got into town later than expected so we grabbed the most local food available- McDonalds. 😁 

Working on the road and also taking in the sites hasn’t been as easy as you’d think seeing my photos. I take pictures of the beauty but the reality for most of the week is the 5th wheel and hangin back. I do our laundry, research what we’re going to do next, write, figure out our meals, life stuff. Once Terrell is done working we may head into town or if we have enough time explore. 

The ONP is huge! Like huge. We quickly jet up

the mountain after work one day to take in Hurricane Ridge. It was breath taking. The next opportunity to venture out was Friday. T rode his bike on the trail and I met him at the end a few hours later to pick him up. We went to see Marymere Falls and Crescent Lake afterwards. We can say we marked off another national park!  

There’s definitely more to see than we can take in but what we did see is spectacular. The weather has been marvelous too. That’s been a plus. 

We had another round of fish and chips. Eh, not the best we’ve had. But we love trying them!  

Both of us have been a bit grumpster with each other this week. We’re had some good opportunities to work on our communication skills. Yay us. 😜 Just caused you’re married almost 35 years doesn’t mean you don’t argue or get frustrated . It means you jump back into the ring with each other. I don’t think we’re getting enough exercise in and sleep hasn’t been so swell either. That’s the reality of living this way. We’re still working out how to do this well.  I’m writing this post actually O’Dark Ugly. Woke up to T closing the window at 4ish and well- that was it for me! Thank you Menopause. 

One more day here and we’re off! We start heading east after this.
