Port Townsend
















Sunday was such a beautiful day. It was a little chilly, but by the time we got up to Port Townsend, the sky was clear, and the sun was bright. We decided to go up to Fort Worden, which is a WWII military site. They have camp grounds there, if you're into camping, but we were just there for the day. There is a concrete base built right into the side of the hill. It was a little scary taking the kids through the fort because there are a lot of places where it would be easy for them to fall 10+ feet onto the concrete below, so I suggest leashes for your toddlers (hey, I was totally against it too, until Matt became mobile. I'm sure that "leash" has saved his life a least a couple of times.) We really didn't do too much up there besides walk up the beach and explore the fort, but it was such a nice day. None of the kids could run very fast on the sand, which made it much easier to let them run free. There was a ton of driftwood that they could climb over, rocks to throw in the water, and a few crab claws to take home as souvenirs. It has been such a long time since we've been able to have a family outing that was as stress-free as this. I totally recommend this trip if you're looking for an inexpensive way to spend the day with your family.
