Our first stop was the Poulsbo waterfront. The boys always enjoy stopping in the bakery to get happy/sad face cookies. We also found some fun trails that led us down to the water and to a little park.
We also picked up doughnuts at the bakery. They were yummy!
Jim and the boys trying to lift the heavy rock.
On one of the trails. It was pretty and there were some great trees to climb, but the sun was really bright. Not good for picture taking.
I think Jim was a sloth in past life!
The next day, we headed out to Port Angeles (pretty much a dump, so we didn't stop in town). They are definitely taking advantage of the whole Twilight craze. There was a store that sold only Twilight memorabilia. I wanted to stop just to take a picture, but we were all hungry and trying to find a place to eat. Nothing caught our eye in Port Angeles, so we headed over to Sequim. Much cuter town and a good Mexican restaurant we found.
Beach about 20 minutes past Port Angeles. Really beautiful there, even though there was a bit of a breeze. Hawaii beaches are beautiful, but I much prefer beaches like this one that have the big trees surrounding them.
Sunset at my parents' house. Amazing! We don't get sunsets at our house.
The last day, we went to Kingston and Port Gamble. I haven't been to Kingston in years. It's small, but very cute. We had lunch and got ice cream before heading over to Port Gamble.
Even though we were only 50 minutes from home, we really did feel like we were on vacation. It was a much needed getaway! We now have a week and a half left of summer before school starts. We have a busy week ahead, and will be stopping by the school to drop off school supplies this Thursday. It will be nice to be back! :)

Glad you had a fun time! Living up here on the hill is a lot like being on a vacation. It is nice! You are welcome to come up anytime, even when we are here. We have enough bedrooms and getting away is always good for a person!
