Hood Canal Scenic Drive - Washington State



Our friends Jack and Diane took us on a scenic drive around the Hood Canal in Washington State on Wednesday, August 8th. The Hood Canal is a large finger of Puget Sound that lies west of Seattle/Tacoma and borders the Olympic National Park. The above video shows a few highlights of our trip.

Just so you know, the roads can be bit winding. Got car sick, should have taken Dramamine, however I still enjoyed the awesome views.

Chambers Bay Hike - Tacoma Washington



On Saturday, August 4th, we planned a visit with Leo in Washington for a hike. We did the Grandview Trail that's located along the top of a 200 foot bluff that offers sweeping views of the Chambers Bay golf course, Puget Sound, and the surrounding islands. It was a nice moderate 1 1/4 mile hike.

Oh! Deer!



We saw a female deer eating white flowers off of a bush while riding in a car. Watch the above video.

Oh, dear! I used the wrong dear at the end of my video. Should have read deer.

Tacoma Narrows Bridge - Gig Harbor



After sunset, enjoying the colorful sky and silhouette of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. It doesn't look real, almost like a painting or a backdrop!
