Point Wilson Light

2018 West, Road Trip, Washington

Fort Worden State Park, just outside Port Townsend, Washington was the location of a T@B gathering earlier this month. We contemplated making the drive from Spokane to Port Townsend in six days to join the festivities but didn’t care to move that fast. Instead we pulled into the park today and booked a site in the Forest Campground for two nights. Late in the day we moseyed over to the Beach Campground in search of some folks we met earlier this summer that had plans to campground host near here this month. We didn’t find them but drawn by the sight of a glacier clad mountain to the north, we did discover the historic Point Wilson Light in luscious late afternoon sunlight! We wandered the beach and the grounds of the lighthouse reveling in the sights and smells of the beach for quite a while before retreating to the warm comfort of T@B in the forest.

    Wish I was with you…. John is nearby, I really like Olympia, and the in-laws are in Shelton, just north. Claire know where all the good quilt and yarn shops are….

      You will love Fort Worden. If you don’t want to camp they have quite a variety of other lodging options that look intriguing.

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!

Savoy at Sea 2025

The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
