Olympic Peninsula Tour Part 1

Olympic Peninsula Tour Part 1,

The Ferry Ride

 

 

Welcome to our Olympic Peninsula Tour.  We had a week to kill between stays in our membership campgrounds, so in order to avoid the heat in Wenatchee, we decided to see the sights along hwy 101 on the Peninsula in Washington state.

The first leg of our Olympic Rain Forest journey included a ferry ride from downtown Seattle to Bremerton.  We were a little concerned about getting the giant motor home on a crowded ferry so we decided to try a Thursday thinking it would be much less congested than a weekend day.

 We were right!  It was a breeze.  The traffic and construction on the mountain passes from Wenatchee even cooperated.  We drove straight to Seattle and were on board a mostly empty ferry within twenty minutes of our arrival!

Driving on and parking the motor home was no problem and the hour boat ride was a welcome break from being behind the wheel.  The kiddos and Aunt Jo spent most of the time leaning over the deck rails watching the jelly fish go by.  We took some great pictures and landed in Bremerton ready to do a little more driving and find a campsite for the night. 

 Our final destination on this Peninsula Tour is our membership campground at Ocean Shores.  We are definitely taking the long way there, but it is after all about the journey and not the destination. 

 Come back and read about the great discoveries we made on our “long way around” expedition to the beach.

p.s. To you friends and family keeping up with us through this blog, I apologize for being behind and out of order, but promise that I am trying to get caught up this week while we have an internet connection!
