Rainforest of the Northwest

This was our hiking day. It was slightly overcast with a breeze which felt good while hiking. The drive into the Olympic Peninsula was breath taking. The trees just kept getting bigger and bigger the closer we got. It was like you were being swallowed up by a big green monster.. and no kids, we're not talking Oscar the Grouch hahaha. We drove around Crescent Lake which is where one of our hikes started up to Marymere Falls. It wasn't a long hike but it was so beautiful. If you do go to Seattle I would highly recommend the 3 hour driver to see the Olympic Peninsula!

We then went on another hike which took you to the back side of the Hoh Rainforest, which is the most beautiful place in the world (well of what I've seen of the world, which isn't much yet haha) It was so green and beautiful.. Moss cascading off the trees and little animals all over the place and it just seemed so untouched, even with a trail. The two hikes were probably my favorite part of the trip.. soooo beautiful, like you walked into another planet. Check out the pics





























I thought that this looked kinda like the tunnel in the Harry Potter movie and so I told Andy to act like there were dementors after him - that's why he's looking like he's scared/shocked/screaming hahaha - he needed a little inspiration for the picture :)
