Vancouver and the Olympic Pennisula

I love to take full advantage of my “off season” in the winter. I try to always book a trip, hopefully to a place I’ve never been to! I bought some last minute flights to the PNW, flying in to Vancouver and out of Seattle. I started my trip in Vancouver, Canada and was surprised by the good weather I caught. I did a day trip to the Capilano Suspension bridge in which I was in awe. I walked and walked and walked all over that city. I then caught a ferry to Vancouver Island and spent some time in Victoria. I also walked and walked and walked around that city. Then I caught one more ferry to Seattle. I hopped around Pike Place Market and some coffee shops, then one morning heading West to the Olympic Peninsula. Unfortunately most of the roads to the top of the ONP were closed for winter, but I did find a few hiking trails that were open. I finally made it alllll the way to the coast where I walked down to La Push beach, and had it all to myself! I loved doing this trip on my own and would do it again in a heart beat! Below are a bunch of pictures of *nature* and the color GREEN. (Something I do not see a lot of in Southern California!). So if you like lush gardens and hiking paths, this blog post is for you!
