Sights and Smells of Sequim

According to The Sequim Chamber of Commerce, the sun shines here 300 days a year.  I guess today just wasn't one of those days! It looked like it was going to rain today but the dark clouds stayed  up in the Olympic Mountains, and we just had cool winds all day.

Kathe and Jim drove down to the John Wayne Marina where two of the Historical Tall Ships were docked.  The Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftain were open for tours today so they boarded both ships and talked to the crew about life on these ships.  The ships are part of an  non-profit educational program that sails into 50 west coast ports each year.  After the tours they staged a "battle" in the harbor, shooting their cannons at each other.

On the way back to the motor home Kathe and Jim stopped at one of the many Lavender Farms here in Sequim. 

Purple Haze has 12 acres of Lavender fields and a gift shop with everything from lavender body lotion to lavender ice cream and lemonade.  It smelled heavenly.  They are tucking some sprigs in my bed tonight to make me a sweet smelling doggie.





On the way back from the Lavender Farm on a gravel road, a rock hit the windshield of the tow car and caused a crack.  It was a little bit of a problem, because they wanted to go wine tasting, and then had to hurry back to the glass shop to get it fixed. Priorities!

They got the windshield fixed.  It's as good as new, and they brought home three bottles of wine.
