Port Townsend

We spent the end of the week with Uncle Kent, Paula, Mom, Kendall, & Alec in Port Townsend. Port Townsend is on the water in northwest Washington, and Kent & Paula have a beautiful house overlooking the ocean. We spent the weekend hiking, gallery walking, jazz festival-ing, and going to the beach.

In theory Port Townsend is close to Oregon (closer than Colorado at least), but it was a bit of a journey to get there. Logan & I set off from the Oregon beach house Thursday morning. We drove about 3 hours to the Portland airport, then flew up to Seattle. It was my first flight alone with Logan, but it was only 30 minutes and he slept the whole way. The hardest part was carrying all the bags by myself. In Seattle we met Mom & Kendall, rented a car, and took the ferry across from Seattle to Bainbridge Island. Here we are on the ferry-- it was a really pretty ride:

Once in Bainbridge, we drove about an hour more to get to Port Townsend. We made it just in time to get dinner at the salmon cart-- the best salmon sandwich you've ever had!

On Friday, we got to take another ferry over to Whidbey Island, where we went for a hike along the bluffs and the beach. My dad took this hike with my Uncle Kent last year.

(Perhaps you're noticing the "X and Logan" trend. Maybe this is why he has such a big head.

On Sunday, we went to the farmer's market:

And then to the beach. Kent, Carol, Kendall, & Paula at the beach: Logan & Uncle Kent playing airplane:

I tried to dip Logan's feet in the (very cold) water.

This was the result.

But he got over it a minute later.

It was a fun visit-- thanks Uncle Kent and Paula!

Mom came back to Colorado with us for a few days. She made dinner for us all week-- it was great!
