First Vacation

My first vacation of the summer was very relaxing until the part where we came home early-
although I am enjoying my day home, free of travel.


First stop- Ferry dock at Pier 52, Seattle to Bremerton. My stepdad and I got out the lawn chairs and sat out in the sun, waiting for close to 2 hours for our ferry to come. Then the ferry ride, which went very quickly due to my book and cell phone. We got off at Bremerton, and drove an hour or so to Kala Point, which is the gated community my grandparents' condo is in. I didn't actually go down to the beach this time around, but we went swimming almost as soon as we got there which was refreshing.

The next day, we got up bright and early to go to Hurricane Ridge. Hurricane Ridge is a part of Olympic National Park.


It was beautiful up there, and it was the first time I got to play with snow in 80 degree weather. While wearing shorts.


I took this one at about 8:30 on our way back from Hurricane Ridge. My stepdad took me down this road to see an amazing/corny/creepy house, and I took this at the turnaround. It was beautiful... and so quiet down there, except for these two kids who were sitting on the bank. They thought they were being quiet but i heard them say "why is she taking a picture?" :)

HI again:) And as for those other two pics, AMAZING!! Your eye just goes on a nice little walk right through that valley, it's so eerie and beautiful at the same time! And the sign and cone, it looks like a scene from a movie...NICE:)

I like how the sign is pointing toward the sky. Nice capture of every day things.

The valley is just beautiful, and snow in 80 degree weather is something we don't even see here!

The boat is my favorite though, sunsets on water amaze me. Good job taking the moment and making it an inspiring picture. The detail in the boat and the land and houses behind it are very cool
