Father's Day we went on a trip to one of my dad's favorite "out of town" places to go. Port Townsend. It's a little gem at the top of the Puget Sound. Everything seems so laid back there. Lots of shopping and restaurants on Water St., and old Bed & Breakfasts to stay in.
Before heading into town we stopped at the Chimicum farmstand, which was also having a farmer's market that day. Yummy local deliciousness.
We always have to stop and take a picture of Benedict St.
Captain T aboard his mighty vessel.
We were hoping and wishing for sun but it drizzled all morning until 5 or so in the evening. It made for some pretty cool boat shots, so I can't complain.
While I was standing at the harbor I was thinking how glad I am to be born in an area with all this water.
Fort Worden is probably my most favorite part about visiting Port Townsend. It's right in the backyard of town. It was built in the 1890's to fortify the Puget Sound against attack. The best part is the bunker which is about 3 stories underground just above the beach. The passages inside are pitch black. It's a photographer's heaven. Most of the HUGE guns were taken out and shipped to Europe during World War I. Until the 1950's it was used for training.
