Trip over to the Olympic Penisula

Last Friday we took a trip over to the Olympic Peninsula. While there we saw Will's great aunt and second cousin. Initially we were going to go north to Edmonds to take the ferry over, but online they said there was going to be at least a 2 hour wait. Given that Will pretty much sleeps while in a moving car, and sitting around would be a dicier situation, we decided to drive south around Puget Sound to get there. Glad we did. Will was out except for the 10 minutes or so we were stuck in traffic near Tacoma.






We got a good game of Ticket to Ride in while visiting. Catherine ended up winning, and perhaps Will was the lucky charm. He helped her out for at least a little part of the game...





After lunch we went on Will's first hike. It was a 4.5 mile hike in the vicinity of Port Ludlow. From the trail description we thought it would be a little more covered in the woods, but in reality it was a glorified lumber road. At least it wasn't very rocky and the views were fantastic. Will did very well through the hike. He spent the entire time in the Moby Wrap with Catherine.

After relaxing from the hike, we headed back to Seattle and this time we took the ferry across the Sound, so Will got his first boat trip. With the sunny, clear weather there were some fantastic views of Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainier. I decided to try to get Will out of the car seat and try him in the Baby Bjorn. He ended up not liking that so much, although the wind on the deck may have had something to do with that. We got some video anyway...
