24 Hour Vacation to Port Townsend

Larry and I took 24 hours and embarked on a little trip for a weekend getaway to Port Townsend. We began with a ferry ride at Edmonds to Kingston, and then took Hwy 104 all the way across the Hood Canal stopping at Port Gamble to antique and be tourists. We stopped at the sea shell museum and general store–and took some pics. We wandered through a gift shop and antique store on the street right next to the water, and then drove on to Port Hadlock. There we dropped into the Ajax Cafe where we arrived just in time to not need a reservation! What a great place for people watching! We enjoyed live music, guitar and clarinet and flute on a stage just big enough–they were having fun! The decor is eclectic, none of the dishes matched, there were movie posters, black and white photos of celebrities, costumes, tons of hats hanging on the walls, lots to look at. The food was brilliant–and then as the evening went on, more and more folks tried on hats. Larry found a wig and a tie that transformed him into a People started taking photos of each other–complete strangers were playing with each other–it was brilliant fun!

Larry really looks like this every day. NOT!

We ended up in a B&B in Port Townsend, F.W. Hastings House, Old Consulate Inn, relaxing, and with a 7 c ourse breakfast in the morning. Lots of antiquing in the morning and good coffee and gift shops all around.
