Solitude



I've been busy with all sort of chores and projects this Spring. One of my favorite things to do is get away with friends that I rarely get to see. I recently went to a lovely place in Sequim with a very dear friend for a few days so that we could catch up.

Cindy and I try to get away once a year together. She to get away from the hustle and bustle of a full house and a full time job. I for the pleasure of going somewhere new with a dear friend.

This year we really studied hard and used the Internet to scope out our destination. We chose Sequim because it is close, and we wanted to be near salt water. After doing quite a bit of research we finally decided on Sunset Marine Resort. Our choice of cabins was The Boat House. It was the view out the windows that really clinched the deal.

From every window in the cabin.........which was very beachy, full of antiques, retro eBay purchases, extremely comfortable furniture and a wonderful ambiance was a view of the water. When the tide came in, the water was literally under our cabin because The Beach House has piers for a foundation.....right ON the beach. It was called the Boat House because it was the original boat house for the old Sunset Marine which was the very first marina on Sequim Bay.

We were lucky enough to be able to go mid-week so there were very few people and lots of peace and quiet.

We went to The Three Crabs for a great Captains Plate our first night there, and then chose to spend the rest of our visit at the resort exploring the beach. This beach had more marine life than any other inland beach I'd ever visited.

It was a wonderful experience.....one I'd gladly do again and again.

I highly recommend this wonderful little secret get away.
