Enjoying the gifts of the day with two dogs
June 30 We are on our way to Burlington, Washington today and will be crossing Puget Sound on the ferry from Port Townsend to Whidbey Island. I love Port Townsend and will miss it, but there is lots to see and do on the… Continue Reading “Kayaking With Seals”
