I've been looking for a chance to camp. I likely could have found someplace, but I was really trying for Fort Worden for a few reasons. Ft. Worden seems to be a place where many activities are available. Exploring the Artillery Hill emplacements, Flying Kites on the parade grounds, playing Bocce Ball either in a field, or, if they are still there, on actual regulation pitches.
As Port Townsend is right over the hill from the fort, the shops and places there are also available. Of course there is the always included in a camping trip to have fire cooked meals.
Having a camping trip that has a variety of things to do was a factor that comes into play. We didn't want anyone to feel that there wasn't interesting things to do.
I've reserved the campsite for Monday through Friday the last week of August. That's the longest stretch I could find during the school vacation period. This will allow our school age family member a chance to camp.
As for the rest, you are certainly welcome for the week if that fits your plans. You are also welcome to spend a day, an evening or a few days, whatever you can manage and are interested in. Mom and I, and likely Lukas will be there all 5 days, 4 nights. I understand the rest of you will have work schedules to take into account.
Just let everyone know what your plans are so we can coordinate activities, meals etc. While we drive around via Tacoma with the camper, it's a reasonable drive to take the Edmonds ferry and drive over Hoods Canal and up to the fort.
So that's the deal.
Dad
