Sequim Lavendar Festival

Today we headed for the lavender festival. We walked around and checked out the vendors and then went to a local farm. The kids favorite part, was playing on the tractors of course. We ended our day with some backyard fun on the slip and slide.

Downtown Poulsbo

This afternoon we went to Downtown Poulsbo to check out the shops and have dinner. Then we took a  walk along the waterfront. It is a cute little town with a viking influence. The kids favorite shop was the swedish bakery!

Seattle Fun

Today we took the Bainbridge Island Ferry over to Seattle to hit all the tourist spots. We rode the ferris wheel, walked around the Public Market, went to the Space Needle and ended our day at the glass museum. A little crazy with 5 small kids, but LB and I are always up to the challenge!

Crescent City to Portland

Today was our second day of driving up 101. We spent most of the day in Coastal Oregon. It was cold and foggy but the views were spectacular. We stopped in the morning at the beach. This was by far Libby's favorite stop! The kids chased her all around and she loved running through the puddles. 

Our second stop was at the sea lion caves. We took an elevator down inside the cave and were able to see hundreds of sea lions hanging out on the rocks.

Novato to Crescent City

Today we started our trip north to Seattle. We headed up 101 with a stop in the redwoods. We drove through the avenue of the giants and took a walk through founders grove.
