After a great time in Portland with our friends, we headed north toward Seattle. We spent a few days with our friends, Paul and Mary, going to Brisbane Island, Pike Market and just seeing the sights around Seattle. After a few days, we went to Bremerton to see high school friends of Donna's. We had so much fun and had a wonderful meal of salad and pizza (homemade by Paul) and fresh apple crunch (made by Shar). We talked about old times and caught up on what we've been doing for the last 40 years. Where did the time go? We are GRANDPARENTS now. It seems like yesterday we were in high school and next year we'll be celebrating our 50 year reunion. We headed to Sequim and Donna went to Victoria, Vancouver Island, B.C., for a few days with our friend, Barb. We had a great time there and I had Saganaki for the first time ever. It's fried goat cheese (yum)! Tom joined us later in the week and he and I went to Sooke to visit Lee and Steve for another fabulous day with fresh caught salmon for dinner and lots of veggies and other good stuff. We sure do enjoy our Canadian friends. We returned to Sequim after a week and visited the Olympic National Park, Marymere Falls. Just a note: I (Donna) climbed all the way to the falls (1 and 1/2 miles round trip - much of it very up and down). What a thrill for me! It's wonderful being able to walk without pain. Today we went to a dog show. It was so interesting seeing the different dog breeds and talking to the owners. The dogs were friendly as were the owners. Tom took lots of pictures and we petted our share of the canines. We have been staying at Elks' Lodges since we left Portland. They don't have all the amenities we're used to in our RV parks, but they are fine and always welcoming. Monday we're off to Port Townsend where we'll do some island hopping and exploring. From there, who knows?
