First stop was at a Fred Meyer in Tumwater for gas and a walk about. Washington must have some pretty strict regulations on gas pumps. The giant size nozzle didn’t want to mate with the car’s filler, which left me only a few gallons before giving up.
Next up was a stop at the McMenamins Spar Club in Olympia for an early lunch. The turkey sandwich is the best around. We picked to a mixed case of Ruby, Terminator and Hammerhead for later consumption and the coast. Then it was on to Port Ludlow for a three days visit with some very good friends from our Redmond days. They are building a new home, so we are staying at the Port Ludlow Resort. Pretty nice corner room with a view of the water, fire place and jetted tub.
After checking in we headed over to Steve and Sally’s to see their new place. Great setting. Right on the Hood Canal, with views of missile subs leaving Bangor and cruise chips leaving Seattle. You always know you will get a excellent meal at Sally’s and tonight was no exception, starting with a great Dungeness crab and shrimp cocktail and followed by clam chowder. We spent the entire afternoon and early evening out on the deck before heading back to the Resort.
Tomorrow we will head over to Port Townsend before visiting friends again. Four crosses today.
