For our one fun adventure in Washington (on the way up to Alaska at least), we decided to switch it up a bit and Adam planned two days of exploring. And the best part? I had no idea what we were doing the entire time!
The adventure started out with a (good) curveball and over two days we visited a new town, saw some incredible views, revisited a fav coffee spot, chased a waterfall, explored a shipwreck, camped right by the beach, finally saw a spot I had wanted to see for years, and checked out multiple lighthouses. It was beautiful, fun, and full of surprises (for me at least)!
