I have to separate Olympic, because the two experiences are
so very different! We spent our first
night of our Olympic NP stay in Kalaloch campground on the Pacific coast.
Here is our campsite from the front
and here is the fabulous view we had behind the RV. I took some time to just sit back there and quilt.
It was crazily cold, but we took the
opportunity to walk on the foggy beach anyway. Luke found a perfect sand
dollar. Did you know that sand dollars
have purple tube feet when they are alive? I didn't.

The next morning we went on the most awesome
tide pool walk we have ever done. This
time it was a tide pool walk with a ranger, so she was able to tell us lots
about what we were seeing.
 |
| Here it is up close. |
Hundreds of
sea stars – a couple of them were bright purple! Green and pink anemone were everywhere, and
we even saw a sea urchin which was really rare for the area. The kids were enthralled (who am I kidding –
we were all enthralled!)
 |
| This anemone was just one of the hundreds we saw. |
 |
It seemed everywhere we walked, we
found more and more to look at! |

| Gabi fell in love with the purple sea stars. |
