Olympic Peninsula Vacation - Sequim, Port Angeles, Lake Crescent.

In the morning we had free breakfast at the hotel and then drove to Sequim (pronounced Squim) which is only 25 minutes east. This was the day that we did FOUR activities!

First on the agenda was the Olympic Game Farm. I wasn't sure if my boys would be too old for this but they thoroughly enjoyed it. At the Olympic Game Farm you drive through the property. At the beginning of the tour you can park and get out of the car to feed deer.

The llamas were pretty funny. Here's one at our car window.

There is a Siberian tiger who was at a safe distance.

Olympic Game Farm is known for its "waving bears." They are hilariously lazy. You have to throw the bread right to them (from your car window) or they won't bother picking it up. They will wave if you wave at them.

This was my favourite bear.

Our car windows had a lot of animal slobber on them (from deer, llamas, and bison) after we left.

Next stop was a quick tour of a lavender farm. I picked Washington Lavender for the picturesque setting and they advertised a labyrinth.

We should have bought some lavender to help with hotel odours. Next time!

Our next destination was Hurricane Ridge. We took some standard photos here.

Next we did a short hike for some exercise and better views. If you click on the next photo and look closely and you will see me and A on the path.

From this spot you can see Victoria.

Deer are frequently spotted at Hurricane Ridge.

In the afternoon we drove to Lake Crescent for some canoeing. What an idyllic setting! This is the view from inside the Lake Crescent Lodge.

The lake is so clear. My son A and I took turns canoeing with J since we renting a boat for an hour.

The dinner prices were quite steep at Lake Crescent Lodge so we tried out Granny's Cafe along 101 for supper. I was happy with my fish and chips. We had a mini blackberry pie for dessert. We stayed in Port Angeles for a second night.
