This weekend, we stayed at a cabin on Quilcene Bay. We won the weekend at a silent auction at the square dance fly-in in Portland in October. The cabin is right on the bluff overlooking the bay. In the photo below you can get a peek (peak) of the white capped Olympic Mountains over the far side of the bay (right between the two hills).

Friday we got there in time for lunch and settling in and then a walk at the local beach. We found a few pieces of beach glass but not much. We had some soup we brought with us for dinner and blueberry peach pie we bought from a cafe. Then we played dice all evening.

Saturday we drove to Port Townsend. We found two beach glass spots. The first was north of town facing the straits. There wasn't much there and the wind was blowing about 15mph, way too uncomfortable for pleasant hunting. Then we went to another city park further to the south: Chetzemoka Park. We found a lot more glass there. It was windy as well, but we could stand it with our back to the wind.

We had lunch at a beach-side cafe. At home we played games and then went for a walk along the road above the cabin. For dinner we made spaghetti, and then played Carcassonne. We've discovered the hotspot on our cell phones works well for playing games on the two ipads since we don't have wifi. In the screenshot of Carcassonne below, my score is slightly higher, but you can see Sandra has way more cities than me and she whopped me in the end.

When it got late and dark, we went out on the deck and looked at the stars. They are much brighter here than in Seattle, really gorgeous. Unfortunately, a fishing facility across the bay leaves really bright lights on all night, so we couldn't see the milky way.
