We are having the most interesting experiences. It is though there is this network of unrelated strangers out there connected in no particular way except that they all are helping to make gandjdiscoverthepnw the best trip ever! So here's what happened.
We left Anacortes and were quickly driving over the Deception Pass Bridge. This bridge connects Whidbey Island to the rest of Washington. The bridge is beautiful and is actually built in two sections. It is called the Deception Bridge because the Spanish lied about it being a small bay a million years ago. The sailors from the Vancouver Expedition led by Joseph Whidbey apparently did not like that. Anyway, we arrived at the Port Townsend Ferry and were fortunate enough to get on the ferry despite having no reservations. If we were in a car we would not have gotten on today. On the ferry we were talking with some random strangers when, a special one, recommended that we go to Sequim. (Pronounced Scquim) Oddly enough George had done business in Sequim before. (Sequim is the lavender capital of the world. ) We disembarked from the ferry and drove into the very quaint Port Townsend. We were looking for a place to eat so I went into a shop and sure enough, another two special strangers gave me a great recommendation. Before George knew what hit him, we were sitting at Jordinis On The Water, at a table over looking the Puget Sound, sipping our favorite beverages. The really funny thing is that they had an Italian Stallion on the menu! We arrived in Sequim expecting to see Lavender everywhere but we actually ended up at a Safeway where there was a Starbucks so we could use the free Wifi and find a place in Port Angeles for the night. I was watching this mom with her two kids eat chinese food and finally decided to that she would know where to go for lavender. And of course she was another great stranger. We took a little ride and ended up at Cedarbrook Lavender and Herb Farm. This will be a cute blog when we put pictures to it. Think George at a Lavender Farm. We have also used the recommendations of strangers to find two great places to stay the last two nights.
I am finishing this blog up on Saturday August 22nd, 2009. This is Sandy and Nancy Platt's 28th wedding anniversay. HAPPY ANNIVERSAY! WE LOVE YOU!!!!
Life on the road is good. Wish you were all here....Jenson

You are a new woman or better yet back to the old Jenson.

"When will Jenson be back?" is the question of the week at work. From the looks of your blog, sounds like a couple more weeks would be really nice. Put the vacate back into vacation. It is nice to see you and George are having such a great time.
