I hadn't been able to come up with a plan for the long weekend - and the sunshine Saturday morning was driving me crazy - but after coffee and much waffling, I asked D if he was up for a long day. He was, so despite a late start we headed west. The wind was strong - and cold - but it was strongest crossing the Sound from Edmonds. By the time we hit the beaches west of Port Angeles the wind was gone and the temperatures were fine. We had a 2:45PM lunch in Neah Bay, then headed out to Cape Flattery and the beaches to the south. I suppose if we'd left earlier, we would have had time for the hike to Shi Shi Beach, but today we would have been hiking back out well after dark. Maybe next time. We had pizza at Gordy's in P.A. and were back in Seattle around 11PM after not quite making the ferry we wanted.
In August, I watched the sun rise from the country's top right hand corner (West Quoddy Head). Today, we came pretty close to watching it set from the top left. And what an incredible day! Especially for February.
