From Seabrook, we began our 3 day driving tour of the Olympic Peninsula. I had always wanted to stay at Lake Quinault Lodge, and it was worth at least $150 of the $400 we had to pay for a single weeknight there (just a basic hotel room with no phone to call the front desk to ask for sheets to make up the pull out bed).
I wanted to maximize our time there, so I signed us up for a 3 hour van tour that mostly circumnavigated the lake, and took us back through some of the wilderness. This was not Wesley’s favorite, and a poor omen for future travel, but I thought the tour was worth it. The tour guide knew a ton, and included the kids every chance he could.
We had our picture taken in front of the world’s largest Sitka Spruce.
I think it won it’s title fairly.
The drive was absolutely beautiful, and I don’t think this bit of humor ruined the view at all.
We stopped by waterfalls, and fed salmon fry in the streams. In spite of the heat and smoke, we still caught sight of an elk herd!
