After leaving Whidbey Island on the ferry over to Port Townsend on the mainland we headed for the Marina RV park. Wow. There were only five RVs in the park and we got the only spot with a tree and a beach side location. If you look at our post from Port Townsend from a few days ago, we shot a picture of the lighthouse on Fort Worden. Just to the right of the tree here is that lighthouse shot this morning in the early morning light ... well not so early as we don't get up very early any more ... read RETIRED. Hey, the sun didn't come up until after eight so don't blame me.



This was a really pretty setting and we could have spent a bunch more time here. There was a chinese restaurant about 50 feet to the left in this picture, but we were too tired to indulge. The marina here hosts a wonderful museum concerning wooden boats and the marina and the storage area hold more wooden hulled boats than I have ever seen.

Tonight, though, we are in Centralia, Washington at the Midway RV park which was about a 150 mile day and very comfortable. This is an nice park with all the amenities like paved streets and computer hookup so it is a good stop. Gas was $3.19 a gallon and we put $100 dollars worth in the Scotsman ... first time since Vancouver, I think.

Tomorrow we will be in McMinnville, Oregon, where we will spend a month enjoying their wine country.
