A quick road trip north to Port Angeles

SEQUIM, Washington, USA - The trip from Vancouver, Washington included two brief stops - one in Centralia to visit briefly with amiga Tia Richardson and her daughter Macy, then on to Olympia where we had lunch with Keighly Marshall and her fiance David Wimett.

We ate at the Fish Brewing Company (LINK: Fish Brewing) where the beer was great and the fish platters excellent. Keighly and David are living in Tacoma and will be married in Valois next August.

And the weather was beautiful - warm and sunny.

But before you decide to leave your raincoat at home, Tia Richardson told us that today was only the 9th good-weather-day this part of the Northwest has seen since the new year dawned.

The 9th! That said, we'll take it.

We landed at son Dustin's house mid afternoon in the town of Sequim, a few miles from Port Angeles. And immediately we took a walk down the nature trail right behind his house.

Tres cool as the French say. Tres cool.

Also within walking distance is a country-version of a Whole Food stores where we found more gluten-free items than in any stores in California.

Well, except for the store across from Dr. Pam DiTomasso's dental office aptly called The Gluten Free store.

Sequim, Washington... when the sun shines
