What
a great place. Yes, it was cool…yes, it was
quiet…but that’s what we wanted. And it was
beautiful and right across the street from Hood Canal.
To get there, we decided to take the Southworth/Vashon
ferry from West Seattle/Fauntleroy because not only it was a shorter ride than
the Bremerton one, we would avoid the Seattle downtown traffic.

Getting on the ferry; choice of Vashon Island or Southworth,
both leave from this dock at different times. | | Be sure you get on the right one! |

| Joan loves Washington State ferries, and here's another one by ours. |
It was a great ferry ride and then we
found a small café right off the ferry at Southworth and up the hill, Kelly’s, to have lunch and had the BEST
coffee that we’ve had for a long time.
Later, we stopped at the Cutter's Point Coffee store.

| Yes, the fish and chips were great! |
It was
rainy driving down the Canal on SR 106 to get to the town of Union and Joan enjoyed
taking some “modern art” photos.
It didn't take too long to get there - maybe an hour from the Southworth Ferry Terminal along SR 3and Sr 106. A friend in Chicago said we were lucky to live so close to beautiful sites; it does seem pretty amazing to be able to leave the bustle of the city and so soon get to the woods.
The resort was nicely landscaped. We
only had a peek-a-boo water view from our unit in Building 8; Buildings 1, 2, and 4 had
full waterfront views. There was only an
outdoor pool, so we were unable to swim, but we could walk down by the beach and around the residential area streets. It would really be nice in the summer and the
manager said they were very busy then with lots of families.
