We wanted to see Fort Vancouver, and the main part was closed because of Covid, but we were able to walk around the English gardens outside the fort.
This sign talks about the English cider apples grown at the fort. Washington is the U.S. center of apple growing, and cider, too.
Before getting to Redmond, we made a stop in Tacoma because Stace has wanted to check out Bass Pro Shops for a long time. We were looking at the fishing and archery gear, in particular. But Stace was disappointed with the selection - perhaps because of the virus, there were many empty shelves everywhere.
Then, we happily settled in at Uncle Bill and Aunt Patty's house. After being on the road for a few days, it was lovely to unpack and rest. Obviously, it was great to see them, too!
On Friday afternoon, Stace, Uncle Bill, Violet and I took a walk in the nearby woods.
Our nature lover loved it! She hadn't eaten lunch but filled up on blackberries.
On Saturday, we grownups went to a nearby whiskey distillery. It was great to get out!
We also stopped at a Big 5 Sporting Goods and bought a bow and arrows for the girls.
How awesome is it to have a yard big enough for archery??
Violet was a natural - I love Uncle Bill's reaction to Violet's near bull's eye, in a rifle target, no less!
Meanwhile, Cora had fun baking with Aunt Patty. They made some yummy treats!
And pizza dough!
