Port Townsend, Where Have You Been?

We spent this past weekend in Port Townsend, WA with our friends Jason & Duana. One of our first thoughts, upon seeing this picturesque town, was "Why, after living in Seattle for 10 years, have we never been to Port Townsend before?" We LOVED Port Townsend! We rode the ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island on Saturday morning (about 35 minutes) and then drove the 1.5 hours north to Port Townsend where we met up with our friends. We stayed at The Tides Inn, which is where "An Officer and A Gentleman" was filmed and is just outside the downtown area. Our room was fantastic and super cheap, at only about $90 for the night. It was right on the beach and our view (below) was amazing! Our reason for being in Port Townsend was to participate in the Rhody Tour, an absolutely fabulous 44-mile bicycle ride with a challenging 2030 ft. elevation gain. It was the first time we have done an organized ride with friends and the first time on our new bikes. We had a blast!
