It was still at the tail end of the camping season and we were extremely lucky to reserve a spot "Last Minute". This popular park is fully booked throughout the spring and summer. So when I tried to make a reservation online, I wasn't shocked to see that there were no spots available. A couple of days later, just a few days prior to our weekend, I checked again. There apparently had been a last minute cancellation and the reservation website showed one spot available. I promptly booked the campsite. As it turned out, I had one of the primo sites at the edge of the campground that looked out over the bay. Perfect!

We spend the weekend relaxing as the breeze blew in off of the ocean. My son spent hours running around the nearby bunkers while my wife and daughter explored the shops in downtown Port Townsend. At night we built a campfire and watched it burn down before plopping in a movie and turning in for the night.

All in all, it was a great getaway with decent weather to boot. Sometimes, those last-minute decisions to just go somewhere end up to be the best ones. Don't you agree?

Here are a couple of panorama pics I took with my phone (click for large view):
