07.16.21 Sequim

Today was a slow morning of packing the car up and heading towards Sequim where I was to meet up with Al & Cheryl for the Lavender Festival.

Made a stop at Lake Crescent on my way to get a different perspective. And then to kill some time while I waited for Al & Cheryl to arrive in the area, I spent some time on Dungeness Bay at Dungeness Landing County Park.

After meeting for lunch, we spent the next few hours driving to various lavendar farms. It was great to see how the various farms set up their operations. From one that looked to have been in business for a very long time to one that was just getting started. Highly recommend checking it out if you are in the area at this time of year.
