   At Logan waiting to fly to Seattle. The plan is to get out of town and to Olympic National Park ASAP. We will stop at a grocery store and Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge on the way, though.

     We took some rainy walks around Lake Quinault, and a quick walk on the beach at the Seashore Conservation Area State Park. Now heading inland to visit Mt. Rainier. Olympic National Park was really amazing - what an incredible privilege to able to see it in person.

     Yesterday was spent tramping around Olympic National Park. Waterfalls! Mountains! And so much moss, ferns, giant trees, and wildflowers.

     Yesterday's amusing moment: After hours deep in the park with no cell signal, my phone suddenly pinged that I had a text as we reached Hurricane Ridge. "Welcome to Canada!" my cell provider was telling me. What? ! ?
     It apparently just caught a whisper of a signal from across the Salish Sea LOL

     At the Salmon House Restaurant on Lake Quinault ordering salmon. I think we're obligated to if we come to this part of the world. Happy to oblige.

     Yesterday at Olympic National Park took us to the Hoh Rain Forest, featuring massive trees and lots of mosses and ferns in old growth forest, and then Ruby Beach with its sea stacks and ferocious Pacific Ocean waves.

     Edit to add hashtags. Got excited and hit post because my breakfast was just delivered 😂

     Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge was a very special place. It had been close to too hot in Seattle, but the wind off the Pacific was pretty chilly.
