Linda and I are fortunate to live in a place with lots of good friends, many of who are snowbirds. We have friends all over the states and many in Canada. When we travel during the summer to get away from the Arizona heat, we often meet up with our friends. In Olympia, we met up with (and stayed) with Jon and Kathy.

On the first day, Jon and Kathy took us to downtown Olympia to visit the capitol building and boardwalk. We hit a couple of good breweries before going back to their house for dinner and games.

The following day, we visited a very cool, private sculpture garden (Monarch Sculpture Park) near their house. Lots of cool art to see while wandering the grounds.

Our plans were to drive up to see Pete and Phyliss in Port Orchard, but because of unforeseen circumstances, we had to head east through Leavenworth, Washington, and then on to Idaho.
