On the kids' last day of school this year, we packed up, and with some friends headed to Salt Creek Recreation Area, just west of Port Angeles. There we saw some excellent tide pools, enjoyed the scenery, and saw quite a bit of wildlife. We at one point thought that Juneau was gone over a bluff and onto the rocks below, she had tangled with and then chased a Racoon through the fencing. We also saw two humbpack whales, and of course, as we are getting the camera out as fast as we could, another campers dog and ours decided they didn't like each other very much.

On our way to the general store in Joyce, Wa. Here, we have our normally confused dog Juneau, resting her head on Moira. This is a big deal, because normally she is contorting herself into the weirdest positions in the truck, and generally not getting close to the girls.

Later on Saturday the girls and I with Doug went for a walk. We eventually ended up here, at Salt Creek, on the west side of the park.

The tide is low enough that the girls have walked over to the island, and are looking back through a hole in the rock.

Kirsti and I on Sunday morning took the dogs for an early morning walk, and saw two Humpback Whales broaching here. They did it once more, of course when our dogs decided to get into it with another, and we were unable to get pictures.

We had reservations for Sunday night at Fort Flagler, on our way home. We didn't spend the night like we originally planned to, but stopped anyway.

One of these two had a nap, and the other had a bath. Both were much improved afterwards.

Before going home, we took a walk on the beach.
