Olympic National Park

Despite his late bedtime, Jasper is was still on Eastern time this morning, so he woke up at 2:45 am local time ready for the day. After trying to get him to go back to sleep with no success, Jasper and I went for a walk around Poulsbo instead. We came across a 24-hour Safeway with a cafe, so we stopped and had breakfast and played for a bit. 

We continued to tour around the town as the sun came up, stopping at a coffee shop and bakery. Poulsbo downtown is Scandinavian themed and set up for lots of tourists. We had the place to ourselves at 6:00am on Sunday morning. Breakfast opened at 7, so we went back to hotel to wake up Pat and start the day.  I had 10,000 steps before 8:00am!

Jasper and I napped while Pat drove us to Olympic National Park. We hiked up Hurricane Hill, a very popular and paved 3 mile path. It was steep enough for us pregnant and carrying Jasper.  The views were pretty impressive from the top.
Picnic at the top.
Jasper was in the carrier, and liked to say "hi" and "bye" to other hikers as we passed them on the trail.
Walking close to the edge
After the hike, we stopped at a park in Port Angeles for Jasper to run around and burn some energy. We took the ferry back to Seattle and checked into our Air BnB with Aaryn, Stu and Evelyn. Evelyn is almost as big as Jasper, but she's only 7 months old!
