Olympic National Park











I've been told that you could spend every day seeing something different in the Olympic National Park, and it would take a lifetime to see it all...I believe it! This park is huuuuge! We started early Sat morning catching a ferry to the Olympic Peninsula - we were the last car on - talk about cutting it close! We drove through Port Angeles to crescent lake and Marymere Falls. Kaitlyn did the hike in the baby bjorn (of course!) and Madison walked the entire way! Then we visited Sul Duc Hot Springs. We were disappointed in the Hot Springs themselves. Unfortunately, instead of natural looking springs, the park decided to make traditional public (crowded) pools out of them. But the Sul Duc Falls were really impressive, even for this time of year. That night we stayed at "Kinder Farm" - a vacation rental on a farm. Madison had a great time feeding the goats and watching wild deer walk by the house. The next morning we drove to hurricane ridge. Spectacular views from all around. The deer were so tame that you could walk right up next to them! Kaitlyn started getting fussy, probably because it was pretty cold up there, so we decided to wrap it up a little early and head back to the ferry to go home. Another busy but wonderful Washington weekend =)
