Countdown to Home

While planning this trip, we'd left the last two days open so we could do spur of the moment stuff, or just veg out if we felt like it.

And what we felt like was finding a place where we could see the ocean from our room, and relaxing for a day.

I wanted to see Port Townsend (no special reason . . .) so that's where we headed. I researched hotels (hooray for TripAdvisor!!), and made a reservation, while hubby drove. Tides Inn turned out to be fantastic.

Not only were we right at water's edge - literally two steps from our balcony - we had a fireplace (which we used) and a jacuzzi tub (which we didn't).

Morning view - low tide - from our balcony.

Books were read, dinner was devoured (Silverwater Cafe was great), and relaxation was accomplished.

Mid-afternoon high tide.

Sunset. My favorite. See the ferry docked to the left? It was fun to watch it go in and out.

I'd love to come back and spend a week month here.
