August: Part 12: Roadtrip: Olympic Nat'l Park: Sol Duc

Day 5: Hiked to Sol Duc Falls.
Drove through Seattle to a town I don't remember and stayed in a hotel.
Day 6: Drove home. Went out to eat for Dan's birthday.
Kids chillin' while we pack up the trailer.
The girls were complaining again about hiking. I told them the sooner we finished the hike the sooner we could head to the hotel and swim. So they ran.
I worried that they would fall off the bridge.

Sol Duc Falls.
I didn't realize when I mapped everything out that we would be taking a ferry.
It was very exciting. We also got to see a plane land on water in Seattle and had to wait for a bridge to split so ships could pass by.

I was afraid they would fall through that hole.
I'm very glad I got to see these parks. I'm not so sure that taking the tent trailer was much cheaper. Gas was a lot and campgrounds aren't that cheap. But it was fun!

WOW, that is the prettiest area. I can't believe the vibrant color of the green and I'm sure pictures don't do it justice. FUN.
