Today marks 17 years that Ward and I have been married. So much has happened during those years - good, bad, sad, exciting, challenging, etc. We've spent the last few anniversaries celebrating in Port Townsend, a maritime, victorian town on the peninsula. We like to stay in the penthouse at the Swan hotel, shop the holiday themed stores, drink beer from the two breweries in town, read books in the pub, dance to music until the wee hours of the morning, and enjoy the things together that we like to do. We also got some Christmas shopping done, which is great because Port Townsend has some really unique gifts. We ate at the "fireplace table" at our favorite romantic restaurant, and we just had a really nice time together. I was sad to see it end come Sunday at 11:00!
And, a special thanks to both Grandmas who took care of Nick while we were away!!
Here are several pictures of our penthouse and view: Click a picture to see a full size view.
The Swan Hotel. We have the entire top floor & crow's nest.
View from our back balcony. You can see Mt. Baker behind the tallest mast
The reading nook. I read a novel about a cat called "Dewey" while sitting here.
Spiral staircase leading up to the crows nest where we had the best view in town!
The awesome dining room. I love the woodwork in here.
Hard to see, but we could also see Mt. Rainier in the distance.
Best breakfast joint in town.
