Rejuvenating Life in Sequim

Our new relaxing and rejuvenating life in Sequim

Got to catch up first on the past few months before we start dealing with our present life. Remember we told you in our previous post that we moved to Sequim in January 06, and also included why we moved to Sequim. We must admit it was a big change for us people from Hawaii. However, most of the days proved to be sunny, as promised in all the Sequim visitors information materials and in online Sequim weather statistics. The sun came out some time during the day and if it was just peeking through a small "blue hole" in the sky for an hour or so.

Olympic Discovery Trail

As we are very active people, having been a stretch class teacher (Keoki) and a physical education teacher (Heidi) for most of our professional lives, the colder weather and somewhat crisp air did not stop us from getting on our bikes, all bundled up with anorak, gloves and caps. The Olympic Discovery trail rewarded us with the most amazing snow covered Olympic Mountain panoramas. We were at awe! OK, we never made it to Port Angeles on our bikes but the Sequim part of the discovery trail is plenty for a 1 to 2 hr bike ride.

Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center SARC

Another big attraction right from the beginning was the Sequim Aquatic Center which we had read a lot about and also got a short glimpse of during our vacation visit in September 05. When we became Sequim residents, we tried it out on a monthly basis. We liked it so much that we joined the club for an annual membership after two months. Now, it’s our second home. We got to know quite a number of nice people, so small talks between workouts are common. Be aware that there are a lot of "gray panthers" (Sequim is a town of retirees) but this shows that more and more people adopt a very active, healthy life style when getting older. Our regular visits to the fitness center (three times a week) are encouraging and energizing. We did miss those visits during the recent 10 day-maintenance closure. Now, things are back to normal. Everybody is happy again. Give your muscles and heart a great workout and relax in pool, sauna or Jacuzzi afterwards. How better can it get?!
