FUN NEAR HOME

4/15/2014

3 Comments

 
    You don't have to go far from home to have a good time. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. And to prove it, we took a Sunday drive to the charming town of Port Townsend. Founded in 1851, the town lies about 40 miles northwest of Seattle and is chock full of fun shops and beautiful, old Victorian houses. And, with it being on the water, visitors don't lack for beautiful scenery. Coming from the Kitsap Peninsula, the drive there was gorgeous, too.
    We kicked around town, ate in a fun, old soda fountain restaurant with authentic soda fountain equipment, counter tops and juke boxes dating from the fifties and even earlier. Prices have gone up since the good, old days... a reminder that we hadn't actually gone back in time.
    Enjoying the sunshine and prowling old book stores was a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Now Gerhardt and I are all rested and raring to go. Let the week begin!

Port Townsend is a great place to spend the day! Nothing more romantic than being married to your best friend....it's so nice to read stuff like this....

Sounds like a good book to me. Some of our best trips are close to home....and where we live in Southwest Florida, there are many close to home trips!
