Point No Point Light

I am back at the exploring again … someone told me about the Point No Point Lighthouse and Beach. Last Sunday since my Bears were losing I decided to take a little drive and ended up visiting this little beach. There was a ton of drift wood that had washed up on the beach. Once we buy our house I really want to go back a get a few pieces for our yard!

Point No Point Light is an operational aid to navigation on the northeastern tip of the Kitsap Peninsula on the west side of Puget Sound, at Point No Point where Admiralty Inlet joins Puget Sound, near the small community of Hansville, Kitsap County, in the U.S. state of Washington. Point No Point Light is considered the oldest lighthouse on Puget Sound and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Source

Walk in the Woods

washington-state-olympic-national-parkAfter moving to Washington my husband was deployed and I was left to explore by myself. I started searching the area around our house for green spots that could lead to a hiking trail or a park. I found a very awesome gem with a GREAT view of the Olympic National park. It was a short 1 mile hike all the way down to the beach and a slightly up hill 1 mile hike back up to the parking lot.

I have not done much hiking in my life … I guess that’s what happens when you live on a 2×4 island for almost 4 years. I am excited to explore my new home and get to see how the other half lives. It might not be all palm trees and sunshine up here but at least there is a good view. I also think I am going to be getting better at my photography skills.

Danger Charters

01 Danger Charters - TORsAdventures Portfolio Media - Key West FL Florida - OffShore KayakingThis past weekend Scott and I went on the Sail, Snorkel and Kayaking tour with Danger Charters. It was a refreshing change of pace from the usual trip we take. To start there were only 14 other people on the boat. We had lots of space to spread out and got to enjoy the trip a little more. I also liked the fact that we were actually sailing and not just putting up a sail for the sake of a photo. We sailed out to a private mangrove island and then got to kayak around it. The scenery was beautiful and it was very peaceful out there. We saw 4 or 5 different kids of birds, a few fish and my personal favorite sting rays. 02 Danger Charters - TORsAdventures Portfolio Media - Key West FL Florida - OffShore Kayaking

They did provide some light snacks but I would like to have had a sandwich or something a little more. Note to self I would pack something for use to share or eat a really big breakfast. All that kayaking and swimming can wear a girl out! The other cool thing about this boat was the step or platform they have for you to get in and out of the water. I got some amazing photos and we even spotted some dolphins on the way back.
