Friday July 4 through Monday July 7 Seattle, Sequim, back to Seattle

 Afrter a hot breakfast at the Best  Western, we started driving to Sequim.  Which is suppose to be about 2 hours plus.  We had several poitns we wanted to see but I missed the turn offs ad got to Port Townsend about 11 30 What a pretty town by the water.  We saw the  ferry loading and going away.  We stopped for a whale skeleton.  We went to Fort Worden State Park.  Oh, KR bought two shirts at Port TOwnsed and we looked for an oyster place.  NO WHERE. 

We saw a burger place called Fat Smitty's in Fairmont and stopped for a burger.  The ceilings were full of tacked up dollar bills.  We got to sequim and saw Bert and Tina and the kids, Gracie and Joseph.  We went to a picnic kind of a 4th celebrationn.  There must been a 100 people there.  All church goers.  Food was great.  We did not stay for the fireworks as Seattle did not get dark until 10.  We went back to the 'trailer' that we were stayingn at and promptly fell asleep.  I didn't even get up to pee.

The enxt day Saturday we went to Lake Cresent to paddle board and play.  It was so beautiful.  Maybe 45 min out.  Couple of hours later we went back to town at Mexican annd had a yummy  meal.  After sayingnn goodbye we went back to Seattle and stayed at The Dylan, a Wyndham property.  Well, it was juyst acquired and  used to be called the Kings Inn.  More like a drug den.  I didn't know when I booked.  But it was innn the middle between Pike Market and The Needle.  We slept on a full bed and they had grab ad go breakfast consisting of a pastry, one bottle water and a granola bar.

Sunday we walked to Pike market first, but the  linne for Original Starbucks was too long.  We saw paroski next door and bought some and they were fabulous.  Then we went back to the hotel to  get read for the Needle.  I had bought the needle ticket and the glass garden ticket the day before.  It was not crowded at 8 30.  We took the fast elevator up and it  was magnificent  view.  We even walked the glass floors, with me whinging all the way.  Then we went to Chihuly Glass Garden.  The stuff was amazing they make with molten glass.

Then it was lunch at Pikes Market.  We had oysters and then more pyrosky and some drinks and seafood chowder.  We staggered home tired.

Monday morning we checked out and found from the front desk Kerry Park up the hill really close by had a fabulous view.  HE WAS RIGHT !!! We drove up there and can see the Needle and Mt Ranier and all that.

The flight home was a mess.  We took a Uber and got  home by 4 30.  It was so nice to be home.  Angel was glad to see us.
