~Washington Coast Road Trip and Simple & Sweet Fridays #156~

Our trip to the Washington coast was so much fun.
I wanted to share some photos of our vacation.
This is a photo of Ruby Beach where they filmed,
 The Twilight Series.
We were lucky with the weather.
It just drizzled a little, perfect for hiking along the coast.
Here is another spot where they filmed, "The Twilight Series".

Ocean Shores was a gorgeous peninsula.

NatureBridge.
A beautiful place.

A charming little town called, 
Seabrook.

The World's Largest Spruce Tree.
It was spectacular!

~Lake Crescent~

We loved the Lake Quinault Lodge.
~Beautiful Views~


We saw lots of different animals;
Deer, Elk and Buffalo.
Port Townsend was a gorgeous seaport.
We stayed the night at the Palace Hotel.

If you're ever in Port Townsend you have to stop at Petals.
A very cute flower shop with lots of treasures for your garden.


Our last stop was a wonderful nursery and greenhouse called,
Christianson's.
 My friend, Mary, told us we had to visit if we were in Mt.Vernon.
We weren't disappointed.
I'll share photos next week.

  1. Oh your trip looks like it was picturesque. I have always wanted to stay at Lake Quinalt Lodge.
    We have wandered through Port Townsend and perused the shops....the Olympic Mountain Range has much to offer.
    If you ever come over to Victoria please let me know and if we are in town we can meet up.

  23. Ahhh, the pictures of your trip to WA makes me realize how fortunate I am to live in this little corner of the world! You showed it off perfectly!! We were just at Ocean Shores a couple of weeks ago! Timed this visit with a little annual antique show held at their convention center! Spent an afternoon on Pacific Beach and visited SeaBrook! And you're not going to believe this but I stopped at Christians this afternoon to buy a primrose for my dear 'almost' daughter-in-love that lives right down the road! I hope your trip was enjoyable & memorable! Can't wait for more pictures!

  25. Hi Jody!
    So fun revisiting some of my favorite places in our beautiful state with you!
    Chrislyn's husband is from Port Townsend.Five and a half years ago, they were married here in our city, followed by a destination wedding reception with white tents on his family's property there. I love to shop in that town. Your Friday's are such a wonderful escape as well. So much inspiration here!
    Thank you the effort that you put into this feature!

  27. Your photos are beautiful. I so miss my beautiful home state of Washington; I'm from Gig Harbor but now live in southern California. Port Townsend is such a beautiful town with such a history. Have a great weekend.

  28. Hi Jody - such lovely photos of my home state - my daughter just spent the weekend at Ocean Shores! I rented a little cottage at Seabrook two summers ago, just me and my two grown daughters - it was wonderful. Looks like you had a lovely time. I will have to visit the shop in Port Townsend and looking forward to seeing the nursery in Mt. Vernon. Now I must go to see some of your Friday inspirations! xo Karen
