Leaving Port Angeles

The last day consisted of packing up, saying bye to "Mama Cat" and her babies and making the drive to the airport.  To make the trip shorter we took the ferry again to Seattle, the drive there would have been significantly longer without the ferry.  From the ferry for the first time we finally saw Mount Rainier, it occurred to me that I probably thought it was a cloud before:

Can you see Rainier?

When we hit mainland we realized we had some time to spare before check-in.  We decided to make the drive to Redmond to check out Microsoft!  It's a huge campus with their own shuttle buses and tons of apartment buildings across the street.  

On our drive back towards Seattle to get to the airport on time for our red eye back to Boston, we laughed the whole way because Rainier was right there!  

Also on the drive we saw the REI headquarters and...lots of traffic.  We probably shouldn't have pushed our drive to rush hour!  We still made it to the airport on time and saw the most beautiful sunset while they were preparing our flight.  

We had a fabulous trip and I hope you enjoyed this tour of Olympic National Park and its surrounding areas! Thanks for reading!
