Washington Pictures

Tom and I spent 10 wonderful days in Washington.  We visited North Cascades NP, Mount Rainier NP, Olympic NP and Seattle.  All camping except Seattle where we stayed with an old friend of Tom's.

I was inspired to visit the area after watching the PBS series The National Parks: America's Best Idea.  The mountains and rain forests of the area reminded me of New Zealand.  Tom and I planned the trip ourselves, and this was our first big solo trip since Maine in 2007.  All others since then have been with OASC.  We definitely enjoy traveling with friends, but this time it was nice, like a second honeymoon.  And it allowed flexibility in our schedule.

I will write more about details of the trip as I think of them.  For now, I hope you enjoy the photo album.
