Day 12

Today, we traveled from North Cascades National Park to the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. On the way, we decided to take a detour to stop at the Pike Street Market in downtown Seattle. It wasn't originally in our plan, particularly because we've already been there, but since we were so close, and didn't have much else to do today, we decided to go anyway.

On the bright side, the last time we were here, it was early on a Sunday morning, and there wasn't too much going on. Today, on the other hand, Josh got to see them tossing fish, which of course, he got a big kick out of. We bought some salmon to make for dinner, and it turned out really well!

After we left the market, we boarded a ferry to take us to the Olympic Peninsula, leaving Seattle behind.

Tomorrow, we're planning to head down to the Hoh rainforest, which is part of Olympic National Park, to spend the day there hiking, and seeing whatever we can.

It's hard to believe, but our trip is now half way done, and it really feels like it's going fast now ... so far, it's been an awesome trip and I hope it continues to be so.
