Coast to Coast Grandkids Tour - Fort Worden (July 2011)


All right now, keep in step with me as we start our exercise program. Kathy, Ryan and Jacob on the top of Fort Worden gunnery platform in the town of Port Townsend, WA.  Fort Worden was an active base from 1902 to 1953  It was used to defend the Pudget Sound Inlet from any invasion attempt by sea.  It was also used as a movie location for "An Officer and Gentleman starring Richard Gere."  No Kidding!  I remember him doing sits ups in the rain, right where they are standing. 


Kath and Jacob sitting on top of the observation tower after a great work-out.   Not a good place to be sitting if  they were in the process of firing the big guns.


Here we are walking along the shoreline towards the lighthouse. I told Ryan to wear a coat but he insisted he was not cold. 



You can see Dave in the background just in case someone slips.  The boys arrived on July 4 with Dave after a 5 hour and 50 minute flight from Baltimore to start our Coast to Coast Grandkids Tour. We have to have them back in Baltimore by July 23rd.
