Morning snuggles with the boys are always great. At our house in Michigan, the boys used to sleep in bed with us but, since the camper bed is smaller, there isn’t enough room for us to comfortably sleep with the boys. So after we wake up, the boys jump in bed for snuggles.
We went back to Port Townsend, WA to do some more exploring. It’s a fun coastal town. We found a SUV covered in a replica of a city, Kalma – a store with a comfortable lounge area, and an underground area. We also found a very popular secondhand clothing store, Fancy Feathers. They have good prices on both trendy and unique clothing.
On the way home we drove past Bandy Farm Troll Haven. The area is covered in trolls and fancy woodwork. It seems popular for weddings and other events.

It’s a travel day! We are going west to stay in a national park near Port Angeles, WA.
We drove by Lake Crescent on our way to Olympic National Park. It was such a pretty shade of blue and the water was warm!

We are going to Forks, WA today! The Twilight books were set in Forks so I’m excited to visit the town.
We stopped at John’s Beachcombing Museum where a man has on display all the things he has collected on the beach since the 1970s. We didn’t actually go in the museum as the admission was $5 and it didn’t seem worth it.
Next we went to downtown Forks. We stopped at the sign which was shown in the Twilight movie.
Next we went to La Push, WA. The views from First Beach were gorgeous.

We met our new neighbors who are a group of college friends from the United Kingdom.
We are going to the Hoh Rainforest which is a temperate rainforest and part of 1.3 million acres of rainforests in the area. Apparently, the contiguous United States has several rainforests – we love learning new things! We went to the Visitor Center and then walked the Hall of Mosses trail. It was very pretty and we even saw some young Coho salmon in a creek.
Next we stopped at a two-track and walked the boys off-leash up the mountain, enjoying the peaceful quiet, trees and fern covered forest floor… until we saw a lot of bear poo. After a quick google search to make sure it was bear scat, we noisily retreated.
We stopped to look at the Hoh River on our way home. It was breathtaking. I keep hoping to see a bear or other large animal by the rivers we pass but no luck so far.

We explored some small towns on our way to Port Angeles, WA. We stopped at the Salmon Cascades on our way out of the park. It’s a pretty little waterfall with crystal clear turquoise water.
We drove through Pysht, Twin, Shadow, Disque, Joyce, Ramapo. The towns did not offer much. In fact, some were nothing but forest or a single house. We stopped at Pillar Point Recreation Area and walked out to see what treasures we could find with the tide low. There were a lot of barnacles and a few crabs.
One thing Daniel and I love about each other is that we can be spontaneous with each other. If we see something we want to check out, we turn around and check it out. There has been so many things we have found that were a spur of the moment decision which turned out to be awesome adventures.
When we got back to the camper, Daniel talked with the group of college friends camping next to us who are from the UK. One woman works for the UK at the United Nations and is involved in providing relief aid to Gaza. We’ve met some interesting people on our trip. We got home kind of late and they were so kind to offer us some corn on the cob while we waited for our dinner to cook.
