I was so tired when I got home last night that I could not even comprehend to write about yesterday. I got home at 11 and crashed. People who know me know I'm usually up until 1 am at least.
So at about 11 am The Roomie texted me saying she was on her way over to pick me up for an adventure and to pack a flashlight and snacks. She picked me up and had her dogs who we had to take out before we could leave. So after dropping off her dogs at her house we hit the road.
Our first stop was Port Townsend, where we went to Fort Worden. It was really cool, we got to explore some old military bunkers and stuff. Then we got in the car and started driving around random roads until I was able to navigate us back to the 101, at which point I told her left to go home, right to go to Port Angeles. She turned right, and our adventure continued it's way up the peninsula.
Pretty much within second of getting in to Port Angeles The Roomie saw the signs for Hurricane Ridge in the Olympics and started following them. It was a gorgeous day and the drive into the park was amazing. The drive up probably took at least half an hour due to the steep gradient and her car's lack of power. We spent a quarter of a tank of gas to go roughly 17 miles. When we got up to the visitor's center the view was amazing. It was so clear you could see everything. Plus this was one of the very, very few times I've been up there without there being snow, so that was cool to see. We went inside too look at the really cool raised map of the park and started mapping out new adventures. After that we went down to the snack bar thingy and had some amazing chicken strips.
After awhile we got bored and started our decent down. It took 15 minutes and we were in neutral the whole time. It was awesome. Once we got down we stopped by my dad and step-mom's to say hi and use their bathroom. I hate using public restrooms. We stayed and chatted a little and realized it was after six and we had a two hour drive ahead of us, so we said goodbye and left with a Tupperware of really yummy homemade salsa.
On hour way home we stopped in Bremerton to see The Roomie's boyfriend and give him the shot glasses she bought him from our various stops. We relaxed there four about an hour, which was a much needed break from the car. After we continued home and I promptly changed into comfy clothes and fell asleep.
