Northern Pennisula. Day 19

Olympic National Park Visitor Center

Andrew thought it would be a good idea to check out the visitor center

even though we wouldn't be heading into the park until Tuesday.

We wanted to do the park on the day we would be continuing on

around the Peninsula.  For today, it was just giving a taste of what 

we would be seeing in the park. 

They loved the Discovery Ranger Station, they both

played ranger. 

Deveraux's created a totem pole.... we read that is how

Native Americans told their stories.

I like the idea of nature outlasting any toy... 

Bear wrestling practice, in case we run into one.

It was wonderful that they had a whole room

dedicated to children in the visitors center.

Bobo did not want to leave.

Drove through Sequim 

Shout out to sister Heather...Deveraux wanted this picture 

for her aunt Lou lou.  

Next stop....Port Townsend...we couldn't help but think

of dad during all these towns, especially this one.

which has the wooden boat

Yep, they make boats!  Cool wooden boats! 

They were teaching a group of magnet students how to build

a boat.  This is where they spend a majority of their time,

teaching others.   

We saw these oars and asked if we could purchase one,

they checked and we couldn't but then that just put

us on a quest to find one.  Bobo would like coast guard

décor in his bedroom.

Bobo's favorite room. 

For our family, we could sign up and make this boat

in a week for $2,000.00.  Andrew and I thought it would

be a cool experience. 

So since we couldn't  have an oar, Andrew thought it would

be really funny to act like he was stealing a piece of wood and

have Deveraux film it.  It may be one of those, "you had to

be there"...but it was funny.

Boat tools 

We really liked this little town 

A beautiful shop 

Look what we found!!!  We separated and Bobo and

Andrew went to get coffee while Dev and I were in the

pretty shop.  We then went looking for an oar and they

were doing the same thing, they found one first! 

Bobo loves his oar!!! 

A drift wood shack 

We stopped back in the shop where Bobo got his oar,

he loved this area with boat "stuff." 

So we left Port Townsend and drove to the nearest Dairy Queen.

We wanted ice cream.  Bobo asked if we were celebrating

him.  I wondered why?  I think it was because of his oar.

So yes, Bobo, we are celebrating you!  Next we can

celebrate Deveraux!

We returned to our Days Inn that evening for the second night....

 we came back to this note...ha ha!

We didn't take it too personal.
