It's nice to stay put for three weeks. We have time to visit minor attractions, wait out weather and even revisit our favorite sites.

SEQUIM - The Lavender Capital of North America
We took an auto tour loop which took us by many of the lavender farms around Sequim (Pronounced Squim). Sequim is located near Dungeness Bay which features Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge and the Dungeness Spit. The Refuge contains one of the world's longest natural sand spits which softens the rough sea waves to form a tranquil bay, tide flats and beaches in the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
 |
| The lavender was in full bloom and many of the farms offer U-Pick options. |
 |
| We didn't pick any but it sure smelled good. |
 |
| A lighthouse is at the end of the 5 1/2 mile spit which we walked a portion of. |

What a beautiful part of the country to hole up in for a while. And that Land Snail in your last blog was pretty fancy looking!!
We enjoyed walking on the spit to the lighthouse and collected many pebbles.
