Anniversary #2 - Day 1

Last year John and I celebrated our first anniversary at Mt. Rainier. This year, we spent a couple of days in the Olympic Peninsula, enjoying every beautiful thing we could possibly see, do or experience.

We knew we had to take a ferry to reach our destination - but we had no idea how unskilled we were at accomplishing that task. In case you are not experienced with the ferry system, here is a lesson we learned: one MUST follow the ferry signs to get to the LONG lines and wait before getting on a ferry. John and I ended up following whatever the GPS told us and we ended up cutting the line - which means that we never went thought the pay booth and our car was never inspected. While waiting around we noticed a very long line of cars on the other side of the ferry station and we asked a police officer what that line was for. He informed us that those people were waiting for the next ferry. Oops! Just so you all know, we still paid.

The best part of this story is that the officer was not bothered at all with our inability to read directions and he let us stay where we were.


Welcome to the Olympic Mountains! If only this picture could truly depict the real beauty of these mountains...



I was ready to take a picture of John with the mountains behind him when this deer appeared out of the woods...and decided to go pee pee right there.

Arrived at the camp site and set up our abode.
