Out and About in Town
Just a few pictures from around town. These are outside the public library. Pics of the Naval Station The view of the mountains on a clear day. View of the mountains from inside the hospital.
A Little Sightseeing
Today we decided to take advantage of a non rainy mostly sunny day and get some sightseeing done. We made a big circle. We started off by heading north to Anacortes. This was a really cute town that we would like to go back to when we have more time to check it out. We did have lunch in a…
Another day, another airplane… or two
So, it was a rainy Saturday in the PNW, and we decided to find something to do inside. I wanted to go to another airplane museum, and Carolynn was down with that, so we headed south in to Seattle. The museum is at Boeing Field, and has aircraft of all ages. Plus it is right on the airfield, so you…
Chuckanut Drive
Today we decided to take a trip down a scenic drive not far from us. Chuckanut Drive. The weather was horrible and rainy but we wanted to give it a go anyways. It was a pretty cool drive and I bet the views would be awesome on a clearer day so we may give it another go at a later…
Fall Colors Are Still Around
Today we stayed here in Everett. We decided to go visit the Evergreen Aboretum and Gardens. Since today was possibly the last non rainy day for a while we wanted to do something outside. I was surprised at all of the color still hanging around. Here are some pics from inside the Arboretum. There were hummingbirds hanging around a tree…
Mt. Rainier National Park
Today, we took advantage of my day off and nice weather and visited Mt Rainier National Park. The weather forecast for the park was mostly cloudy with a high of about 30 so we dressed accordingly. Turns out the forecast was only right about the mostly cloudy part. The temperature stayed right around 50. Because of this, we were quite…
Big Four Ice Caves
Today we headed into the Mt. Baker – Snoqualmie National Forest to hike to the ice caves. The path to the caves is a relatively easy one. The path/boardwalk is very well maintained. It was a cool 46 degrees when we got there. Luckily we had brought our jackets because we were both wearing shorts. There are plenty of signs…
Wallace Falls State Park
What a week!! This assignment is taking some getting used to. This hospital is huge compared to any place I’ve been before. I have to make about 75 u-turns during the day because I’m going the wrong way. Luckily, all of the staff has been super nice and helpful. Once the weekend got here we decided to try a couple…
Flying Heritage and Combat Armor Museum
On this past Sunday we decided to explore a little bit before Carolynn started at Providence. So I found three places that would appeal to both of us. One was a lighthouse, which we did not stay at, as the parking was $4 an hour. Since we haven’t had income in 5 weeks, I decided that we would come back…
Everett, Washington
We finally made it to Everett! 6200 miles, 15 states, and 5 weeks after leaving Seaside. Montana was a beautiful state to drive through. The fall colors were amazing. The drive across Washington was pretty boring and unremarkable. We hit tons of traffic coming into town. The city life is going to be a little different than what we have…
