Joyce and I headed north out of Shelton, Wa (about 20 minutes from our home in Olympia) this morning for Port Townsend, WA. Port Townsend is exactly 100 miles from Olympia and a two hour ride for us. We like to ride up on a Saturday for lunch. Its really pretty and right on the water. You can see across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

BUT..............it got kind of chilly as we headed north.

So, we decided to turn back around and head up the Skokomish Valley just outside of Shelton. We had made a quick ride up a few years ago. This time we wanted to 'drink in' the entire valley slowly and savor its beauty.

There were fields full of millions of yellow buttercups that just were amazing! We stopped and watched some beautiful horses in a field and enjoyed the view including the house and barn in the background. What an idyllic little valley.

I hope you all can come some spring or summer and ride up the valley with us.

Send me your photos and/or just a snippet on what your weekend had for you so far.........
