Monday, August 4th.
Today was our day with Grampy Dave. After a lazy morning, we drove to Sequim (an hour from my mom's house) to the Olympic Game Farm. It's like a zoo in a sense but you drive your car through a variety of fenced areas and feed animals out the car window. We saw (and fed some but not all) llamas, yaks, zebra, deer, elk, bear, moose, buffalo, prairie dogs and whatever birds hovered around to steal the animals food.
After enjoying the Game Farm, we went to a lavendar farm. I learned that Sequim has the largest concentration of lavendar farms in the United States, 35 to be exact. We went to Jardin du Soleil and cut our own lavender. Mmm, the whole area smelled so good. It was a gorgeous day, bright, sunny, warm and the whole area was covered in lavender bushes.
I grew up about 20-30 minutes from Sequim. We'd play against them in high school sports or go there for church events there. I remember Sequim being a po-dunk down where a bunch of old, retired people lived. We didn't get to go to the Olympic Game Farm and I don't think there were 35 lavender farms back then. Now Highway 101 even has a route around the outside of town rather than through the main street. It's a cute little town that I see in a whole different light. I'd love to go back to visit sometime and maybe even stay overnight in a little cottage on a lavender farm.
