the view from our kitchen
sooo many seagulls
can you see the mountain? it looks fake!


Friday morning I was up at 5:30am. I could NOT wait until we moved to Port Townsend. How it happened is; we took a drive on Tuesday to this little marina town, Port Townsend While there we stopped in at an RV park located on the tip of the island. It only has 23 spots and we were told the reservations are made at least a year in advance. Just as we were standing there the phone rang. There was a cancellation. It was like winning the lottery! Wahoo!!! We’ll take it. We booked Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night.

The way the sites are situated, (pretty close to each other), one spot would pull through facing North and the next to face the South. Again, we were prosperous, our spot faces South, which means when we open the back panel to the garage we have the most perfect view of water and boats and birds and Canada!

the floating circus

It could not be better if we planned it.  The soft sounds of the fog horn and the bells on the buoys are almost rhythmical and give you such a comfortably peaceful feeling. I am sure I am going to inundate you with pictures on this one

Sire is loving the beachy area on his twice daily walks. He chases the seagulls and pulls every piece of wood he finds floating out of the water. He actually pulled out a dead tree. We were flabbergasted that he is really that strong. He was extremely proud of himself when he accomplished that feat!

The cats are in awe of all the seagulls. They are sleeping by the windows and cant seem to get enough of the action. I don’t think any of us ever want to leave here, ever!

We have done so much while staying here, visiting Ft. Worden, going to a street festival and farmers market. Walking downtown and checking out all the specialty shops. Stopping along the docks and watching a floating circus, that came all the way from France. Eating at every single seafood place there is. Taking ferries back and forth to Seattle, Canada and other little islands.

Today we are heading over to Port Angeles. Its about 45 minutes from here and a lot of ferries to Victoria, BC leave from there.

Ill have to put today in another blog. Thanks for reading. Have a great Sunday!
