Photo Tour of Port Townsend

Back in November, the mister and I celebrated our anniversary with a short trip to Port Ludlow to stay at the resort there. It was lovely, and the weather was a perfect mix of stormy and mild for a long weekend getaway. One of the days we took a quick trip up to Port Townsend to walk around and explore the town. It was a great day of browsing through shops, snacks, and spending quality time together.

I love the architecture in towns like this.

When we finished walking around the town, we headed out to the beach and lighthouse. At the beach, we came across a really interesting "rock formation."

We wandered to Fort Worden and tried to find the mysterious locomotive we read about in our Washington Curiosities book. Success! The story goes that when this locomotive, used to transport building materials in the area, was no longer useful the workers buried it instead of taking money for its scrap value at the time. it was rediscovered many years later after the Fort was turned into a park.

In this unassuming building you will find something quite interesting.

I love the quirky road trips we take together, and this one was great as well. The Washington Curiosities book has been a great resource for interesting things to see in our state. We keep it in the car and write notes and dates in the book when we visit places.

Happy exploring!
