After we crossed into the US on September 3rd we stayed at the WalMart in Oak Harbor – very quiet and nice.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Sept. 4th, we took the ferry over to Port Townsend ($58) and\u00a0 just drove a couple of miles to Fort Worden State Park right next to Port Townsend.\u00a0 The Fort was interesting –\u00a0 an old Army artillery post.\u00a0 For some reason there were men dressed in WWII period military fatigues driving antique army jeeps and motorcycles around.\u00a0 We could not get photos because they were just passing by – fast.\u00a0 The state park was expensive – $47 with only electricity and water – but pleasant.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Sept. 5th (Labor Day) we drove to Aberdeen, Washington and stayed at another WalMart – not as nice.\u00a0 We drove around a little to see the area but nothing to write about.\u00a0 When we settled in for the night we got a little surprise when a very long train loaded with lumber passed about 50 feet by us.\u00a0 We were watching a Redbox movie with headphones on and had to pause it because we couldn’t hear it the train was so loud.<\/p>\n

Here are some photos of the ferry and a typical lavender farm – there are lots of them in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t
