Back from Washington (The state)

I just yesterday got back from WA state. My Dad had a meeting in Olympia and we came along (Olympia is about 60 miles south of Seattle). On the way there we passed through Mount Rainier National Park. Mount Rainier is a volcano and we were only about a km from the top. When we got to Olympia we stayed in a topnotch hotel called Pheonix Inn suites. We got the best room =D! called the 'Governor's suite'. It was awesome!!!! Three times the size of a normal hotel room, TWO tvs and all the furnishings. Plus we could walk to the harbor. . . it's sea water but not on the coast. There is a channel that runs from the sea all the way down to Olympia. We only stayed there for three days though and then we were on the road again. We went up and drove around the coast after that, and camped right on the coast. I got to run through the waves, although I didn't get too far out (I've seen Jaws) and though we didn't seen any marine life we saw plenty of crab shrapnel (those gulls can be ruthless). After that we just drove home (camped on the slopes of Mount Rainier though). Did you know that the world's best Holiday Inn Express is in Spokane, WA? It even has its own hotel dog, a golden retriever named Kip. A grand total of about 30 hours driving. Ugh!
