Sunday arrived and we all got up early to head out on our adventure. I got up at 5:00 started coffee and hoped in the shower. I woke everyone else up at about 5:30. The plan was to leave the house at 6:00. (Secretly I knew it would be more like 7:00) We actually left the house righ around 6:45! Not too bad. We stopped for gas and then headed out. We drove south toward Olympia and cut over to Aberdeen and then north up 101. We circled the Olympic National Park and came back through Bremerton and Tacoma. It was really a very beautiful drive. 
We stopped first in Elma, just outside of Olympia, for Breakfast at the Rusty Tractor! Yummy! Way too much food though! Only Ron managed to finish his entire meal! 
We got back "On the Road again" and had a nice to drive into Aberdeen. A quick stop at the local Wall-Mart for drinks and essentials and we turned on to 101 to begin our Rain forest Journey.

Next we stopped to see the GIANT cedar Tree. After a short journey on a very pot hole riddled road we got out for a even shorter walk to see this giant tree. Ron of course had to climb it.
They don't tell you how old this tree is but I am guessing it has seen a few years.
Breanne and Todd inside the tree. And below is me and Breanne on the Tree.
We went on from here to Forks where we did some Twilight shopping at the "Dazzeled by Twilight" store. And just looked around. We continued to drive up 101 and enjoy the amazing scenery. Lake Crescent was huge and amazing. Ron and I have decided that we are going to come back and stay at the Kalaloch Lodge so we can enjoy more time at these places. We stopped for a while in Port Angeles and looked around the waterfront. Then it was time to hit the road and get back home.
We got back home aroung 5:30. The drive was 400 miles round trip and we did it on 1 tank of gas. Not too bad. We will make sure to go back this summer and spend some more time enjoying the forest and what it has to offer.
