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.
Imperial War Museum
London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.
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’d absolutely love it! And as a bonus we’re enjoying beautifully sunny weather!
What an awesome light house! We will have to go on adventure soon to see it!
You will love Fort Worden. If you don’t want to camp they have quite a variety of other lodging options that look intriguing.
