Port Townsend

Because I had to leave from my internship, we didn't get to the ferry in time for the 4:40 ferry and had to wait for a while. The view was nice as the sun was setting, so neither of us minded.
On Friday night, we checked in about 8:00 and then went into town for a little bit of fun. We had some great clam chowder and a couple of drinks at Sirens. While there, we played an interesting game called Reminiscing. (I thought it would be appropriate as we were approaching our anniversary and would be doing a lot of reminiscing in the days to come).

The game, although a little difficult to understand, was a lot of fun. I ended up doing much better with questions from the 1940s and 50s than from the decades I actually lived through. (I sucked at all questions related to the 90s).

In the morning, we had an amazing breakfast at the B&B. It was seriously the best french toast I've ever had. (It was coated in almonds and cranberries, which made the outside nice and crunchy). On our way out of town, we saw a few deer leisurely walking through the streets and wished that we had more time to stop and take pictures.

We got to the meditation retreat just before it started (the directions were a bit difficult to understand). We were there until late Saturday afternoon (more on the retreat later). When we got back, both of us were exhausted and so took a short nap before we went out to dinner at The Fountain. Our dinner was incredible and the atmosphere was warm and inviting as always.

Afterwards, we went back "home" and hung out with the other guests in the hotel parlor, enjoying a warm fire and hot chocolate with homemade marshmallows. (The owner of the Holly Hill House is an incredible cook).

On Sunday, we left the retreat a couple of hours early and were able to walk around a little in the historic part of PT. We stopped for fish and chips at the Public House and then took a nice walk through Fort Worden Park. The picture here is from Bliss Point.
