Back Home in Florida

My brief blog during our trip to Washington state last week was – brief
Today, I'd like to catch up a bit and provide a couple of photos from our trip.
We returned home on Thursday, 9 September. Cross-country travel by airplane was everything I remembered it to be: crowded, tiring, expensive, and boring. Fortunately we had no travel “problems” - the plane(s) left on time, arrived on time (or early), and air-turbulence was minor.
We had a wonderful time visiting our friends in Sequim and Olympia. The weather was typical Pacific Northwest – several days of sunshine and cool; several days of rain / clouds and cool. But a great break from the 90+ degree days of north Florida this summer.
While in the Sequim, WA area, we were fortunate to travel up the Sol-Duc river into the Olympics. Todays photos are from that day-trip. The Sol-Duc River is approx 78miles long and flows from the Olympic Mtns, joins with other rivers and then into the Pacific. We would like to spend more time exploring this river and of course, in the Pacific Northwest.
I will probably post another photo or two while it's fresh in my mind.
For now, we're enjoying another Univ of Florida football victory. Next week we travel north to Knoxville to watch the Gators play Univ of Tennessee. I'm not a football prognosticator, but from what I saw today, the Gators will have to play better to leave Knoxville with a victory!
Michael Spicer had a photo showing in our home last week and is having another next week (while we're out of town). If you haven't seen Michael's work, you're missing a true talent. I will post a photo or two next week of his work.
For now, we're enjoying being home. Travel is great, but home is always welcome.
