2018 Vacation - Day 5

Day 5 was spent driving back home, sadly leaving the west side with all the green vegetation and ocean views, to head back to the dry, brown side of the state. We weren't able to stop at Crescent Lake due to road construction, and didn't really have the time anyway. There wasn't much delay at the ferry ride and other than some more road construction, we had a good trip back home. A few photos below the jump break.

2018 Vacation - Day 4

Day 4 started in Port Angeles, Washington. We took Highway 112 along the Strait of Juan de Fuca, which takes you to the Makah Indian Reservation. We visited the museum, and then drove on out to Cape Flattery. A trail goes out to the cliff edge which is as far northwest as one can go in the lower 48 states. Then we drove down to La Push first beach. We spent the night in Forks, Washington.

There was a lot of fog by the ocean the entire day. Due to the fog, the weather was around 20 degrees colder than just few miles inland where the sun was shining. Photos below.

Day 3 started in Burlington, Washington. We drove to Deception Pass State Park and took in the beautiful scenery there. Then it was on to the Coupeville Ferry terminal for a ride to Port Townsend. After that, we drove on to Port Angeles for the night. Photos below.

2018 Vacation - Day 2

Day 2 began at Winthrop, WA and ended in Burlington, WA. The route between the two is the absolutely stunning North Cascades Highway. I have wanted to go on this road ever since I found out it existed. There are plenty of pull-offs to admire the scenery and we made good use of them. Photos below.

2018 Vacation - Day 1

This year, it worked out so that we could take a week's vacation in June around our anniversary. I  got the rental car on Saturday, so that we could leave Sunday morning to go to Winthrop, which is in north central Washington, on the eastern edge of the Cascade Mountains. Photos below.
