Fort Worden

This Saturday we decided to spend the day at Fort Worden in Port Townsend (about a 45 minute drive). 

It was a beautiful day to walk around the beach and the bunkers.

 Aren't they cute together. 

 In some of the bunkers there are long narrow passage ways that are pitch dark.  They are blast chambers most likely (that is what Thomas, and Henry think).  We decided to go through some of them.  This is what we look like in the dark. 

 Okay, so the first two or three bunkers were really cool.  But the kids wanted to go into each room, go up and down all the stairs, etc.  I was done 1 1/2 hours before everyone else.  (We were there 5 or 6 hours)!!!!!  It is such a boy thing to do.

 Pretty funny sign!!!!!

There is also a lighthouse at Fort Worden.  It is called Point Wilson.  They were giving tours so we decided to go.  I have never been in a lighthouse.  The view was beautiful but it was really tiny at the top. They don't use this lighthouse anymore because the boats use radar and radio communication.    

 More bunkers.

 This is where one of the guns would have been.

We finished off the day eating ice cream for dinner.  I tell ya, I had the best ice cream there.  It was Swiss Orange Chocolate.  Oh-so good.
