Port Townsend

This last weekend, we woke up on Saturday to some super blue skies so we decided to take a ferry trip to a little town called Port Townsend. The town is on the Olympic Peninsula, and is rich with history. Back in the early 1900s, it was called "The City of Dreams." It was projected to be the biggest port on the west coast. Well, as the depression would have it, the railroad going from Seattle to Port Townsend was never built, so the dreams of the successful port came to a halt. It is pretty much a retirement community now. The town is really neat however because it is rich with Victorian houses, that are just stunning. It has a neat little downtown with cute soda shops, restaurants, etc. We ate some lunch, drove around, went for some ice cream at a soda shop, and then headed home. Here are some pics from our trip.

The ferry left for Port Townsend at 1:30. This is the time on our clock when we pulled onto the ferry. Yes indeed...we barely made it...and we got the last available spot! phew.

BEAUTIFUL Day!

Almost there!


Port Townsend from the Ferry (I wish I had my DSLR camera with me...)

While driving around we came across this light house. Isn't it picture perfect! (once again wishing I had more than just a point and shoot!!)

Here is a little bookstore we found in town. Aisles of old books. Craig is in Heaven!

We had a blast....I love little old towns.
