This was a bucket list for me-swimming with sea turtles. Very cool experience. My lil Olympus underwater worked pretty good!
Trail of giant nurse trees.
The trail to the bottom of the Snoqualmie Falls had huge nurse trees at every turn. The original tree was rotting out from underneath the roots. It was very cool.
Snoqualmie Falls
These beautiful falls are about 2hr 15 min from Sequim in the cascades. The original “lodge” was built in 1916 and had 8 rooms. Now it is a luxury boutique hotel–well worth the high price tag.

These delicate flowers were interspersed throughout the greenery on one trail at the Bloedel Reserve.
