Day Trip to Port Angeles

Our stay at McChord AFB has been very nice.   Monday, we took a road trip to Port Angeles.  The drive was beautiful.   The day was really cool.   The high was 80 degrees.  Everyone we talk to says last week, which had days with 103 degrees was very unusual.   They are used to temperatures in the 80s.   This is very cool for us.   I have had to wear a jacket the last couple of days.

We are about to drive on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.  This is the 5th largest suspended bridge in the world.

It is a beautiful bridge.  I will find out more on this bridge but it is about a mile or two long.
