Lake Quinault

We spent a wonderful weekend at Lake Quinault.  We saw a lot of big trees, moss, and rain.  We were glad that our friend Jean was able to come with us, but sad that her college-aged son had too much homework to come.  We went on a few hikes in the rain, then enjoyed swimming in a very warm swimming pool that felt very much like a hot tub.  NICE!!

My favorite place on the trip was Ruby Beach.  The rain stopped long enough for us to play on the beach and then started again when we were finished playing.  We saw an amazing double rainbow.

I really love the Olympic Peninsula. I feel so blessed to live in such a gorgeous area. I never get tired of the Northwest.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures followed by a little video with more pictures and narration...

I had a hard time keeping the lens of my camera dry because the rain was so heavy.  Many of my pictures look like they were taken underwater because they were!

 Thought about using this as a Christmas card picture, but I'm lounging in my sweats and T-shirt and Rachel was grumpy. Shucks.
