The Silver Anniversary
It’s hard to believe we have been married 25 years already, they have flown by. A little something for the love of my life!
Wildlife on Flathead
We spent the day boating on Flathead Lake and River as a family. We started off by boating past a Bald Eagle hanging out on a piece of driftwood in the middle of the lake. We saw several more Bald Eagles along the Flathead River. We anchored up at the mouth of Fennon Slough for some swimming where we released our wildlife into the river.
Sunset over Mission View Bay
We had some amazing light after one of the largest thunderstorms we have experienced living here.
Up the Flathead River
We spent a few hours boating on Flathead Lake and decided to travel up the river into the Flathead Valley. We visited the Somer’s Bay and old railroad facilities before turning north. The river was very calm and peaceful and turned into one of our favorite new spots. Throughout the day we saw 4 to 5 Bald Eagles, what a great way to spend a summer day.
Olympic National Park
For our summer vacation this year, we decided to drive to Olympic National Park and spend a week exploring the Olympic Peninsula. We went all the way the first day and stayed at the Log Cabin Resort on Lake Crescent in Olympic National Park for the first three nights. On the fourth day, we took the ferry from Port Angeles to Victoria, British Columbia, for the day. In Victoria, we had tea at the Empress and revisited Abigail’s Hotel, where we had honeymooned 25 years earlier and enjoyed shopping. For the next three nights, we stayed in the Lake View building at the Lake Quinault Lodge. Here, we took a boat tour of Lake Quinalt and explored the Lake Quinalt Rain Forest and the coast around Kalaloch. Finally, we drove through Mount Ranier on our way home.
