Labor Day Last Minute Getaway - Day 2

Day 2 we woke up to what else but rain! We decided that we still wanted to go exploring so we headed west about 30 minutes to Lake Crescent. This is a beautiful lake nestled in the Olympic Forest, the water in the lake is a cool blue/green and Ryan tells me that it is crystal clear on a sunny day. Although it was raining Ryan wanted to check out a hike in the area. So he, Luke, Grant and Calvin we off. I stayed in the car with Kate who was sleeping and with Dallin who thought it would be more fun to play his gameboy then brave the wet weather! About a hour later I got a call from Ryan saying to meet him over at the Lake Crescent Lodge for lunch. So were headed to an old rustic lodge right on the lake and had a warm lunch. After lunch we decided to head back home and gear up for the busy up coming week with school starting. It was such a fun and way to fast end of the summer getaway!
