Mini Holiday

Saturday dawned with its ugly head of an impending storm.  We didn't care we had to get out of town for a while.  Driving into the storm was to say the least interesting.  Walking in the gale force winds was even more interesting.  A few times I would look back to see if J was still there. I'm a planner so I knew in advance were we could sight see under cover from the storm.

The lighthouse is not near the water now, but it is located across from a Greek restaurant where we had our lunch.  The food was fresh and quite good.

 Not since the artificial land area called Half Moon Bay was created has the light house been near the water.  The Maritime Museum pictured here is near the ocean.  I was a bit disappointed with the exhibits.

 Destruction Island lens from the Gray's Harbor Lighthouse, which is the tallest Lighthouse in Washington state is located forty miles north of Grays Harbor on the Washington Coast. The lighthouse was first lit in 1891. Lighthouse

 The common access road to the observation platform was closed off at noon due to the tide waters cresting the breakers and causing a temporary flooding.

2 hours later we were able to get to the furthers most point of the Half Moon Bay to take photos.  Well okay my hip hurt so J took these particular photos.

The above were all taken by my husband J.

  Tomorrow I'll post more about the rest of our trip.  Plenty of photos and some even taken by me next time, like this crappy one where I was fighting the wind.
