The Great North West….

We are currently in Port Angeles, Washington, staying at a KOA RV Park tonight and will catch the 8:20 am. Coho Ferry to Victoria tomorrow morning.  If all goes well we should be home by noon tomorrow!

As I walked the pups around the park for their last walk of the day I snapped a few pictures for you to see what the great North West is like…a little different than the desert!

Giant fir trees instead of cactus…

Flowering cherry trees instead of flowering yuccas….

    A big contrast between the two areas. It is going to be a drastic temperature change too. You have gotten a lot done on your stitcheries.

    as nice as the sun, sand and heat are, there's nothing quite like coming home to the big trees, lushness and rain of the Pacific Northwest! Fabulous pictures. Reminds me why I love it here so much. Your baskets are coming along nicely! Welcome Home!
