Last time we were in the area we just whizzed past Sequim barely noticing it but that along with a conversation with a cousin, it did put the place on our mental map. Today it was our destination. We started with haircuts at Great Clips then the Museum & Arts Center. If you’ve read the book The Boys in the Boat about the 1936 Olympic rowing team from the University of Washington, you might recognize Sequim as the hometown of Joe Rantz. They have a George Pocock racing shell and several displays about the team and Joe Rantz. We learned about the recent American Experience episode about the team and plan to download it from iTunes. We were also facinated by the story of the discovery and excavation of the Manis Mastadon. From there we indulged in a Mixed Berry Scone and coffee at Rainshadow Cafe, found a few geocaches, walked through the street market, and generally enjoyed a sun blessed afternoon in this lovely town. We capped off the experience by driving to Salt Creek Park on the Strait of Juan de Fuca and along the shore of Crescent Lake. Back at camp we indulged ourselves with a rack of ribs from the Bibbsy’s concession here at the KOA. Yum!

Cozumel & Grand Cayman

Cozumel & Grand Cayman

Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.

Winter Magic in Medina

Winter Magic in Medina

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
