Thanksgiving Vacation In Sequim

Thanksgiving is looking around the corner with everybody making arrangements to reunite with family and friends or maybe taking some time off from the busy city and relax for an extended holiday weekend in Sequim on the Olympic Peninsula. Why not spend a Thanksgiving vacation in Sequim!

The weather is still nice enough to enjoy some outdoor activities, like hiking and biking the Olympic Discovery Trail or just walking Carrie Blake Park with duck pond and dog park or John Wayne Marina. The new restaurant at Sequim Bay Marina with beautiful views of the Bay and Mountains on the horizon invites you for a delicious lunch or dinner served at a special ambience with white table cloths and candle lights.

When you plan a drive to Hurricane Ridge in winter, always check the weather forecast first, so you won't get turned away at the entrance of Olympic National Park because your car is not prepared for the snow on the road to Hurricane Ridge. You may call the road and weather hotline at 360-565-3131 for current Ridge information. Also bundle up with a woolen cap, mittens and a scarf when visiting Hurricane Ridge in winter. Some winter boots come helpful! You can find information on the Hurricane Ridge Visitors' Center when ski and snowshoe rental start for the season, Cross-Country Ski & Snowshoe Routes and more.

Restaurants are preparing for the Thanksgiving crowd but if you want to just enjoy a homemade turkey meal without the hassle of cooking and starting the oven at your Sequim vacation rental, our two big markets, Safeway and QFC offer great complete turkey dinners with mashed potatoes, stuffing, rolls and pumpkin pie for 6- 8people at prices of $40 - $45. This great turkey deal makes us even wonder whether we want to cook ourselves or just order in for us and a few friends.

Thanksgiving Vacation in Sequim can be fun. have a great Sequim visit for Thanksgiving. Greetings from the Sequimmers

p.s.

Nearly forgot to mention that SARC is closed for Thanksgiving but will be open all the other days for your fitness and relaxation needs with Olympic lappool, waterslide, saunas and jacuzzi. Sorry no luck with attending Keoki's Easy Stretch class, which is on Mondays and Wednesdays.

In case, you were wondering about the Senior Center Thanksgiving Dinner. It is on Tuesday 11/20/07 from 11:30am - 1:30pm with food and entertainment $4 members and $10 non-members.

What's up at Carrie Blake Park in Sequim in Fall?

After filling you in on Keoki's Easy Stretch class at SARC, it's time to do an update on our regular Sequim life. With November weather having treated us extremely nicely so far with lots of sunshine - shift seems to happen right now, but Blue Hole 'enlightens' us daily - Carrie Blake Park, which is just around the corner from our new house still attracts a crowd of walkers, joggers, remote sailboat owners (they run races on the fish pond), dog owners, duck feeders and parents with kids.

We have much fun to watch all the different dogs at the fenced Dog Park one part for the little guys and another one for the big dogs) where they can run freely. The dog whisperer would love our dog park! The dogs play together, get a great workout and there is hardly ever a fight between them. An occasional talk with the dog owners can be a pleasant encounter too.

Best of all during our walks through Carrie Blake Park is our stop at the sunny bench by the duck pond. We made friends with them all. As soon as we stop, the ducks come to shore and wait for their bread. We have mostly a piece of flaxseed bread but also watch other people feed them an entire loaf of white bread. we don't know how healthy that is plus hope that the ducks won't forget how to find their own food, which will be even harder in winter.


If you live in Sequim and have kids, Carrie Blake Park is perfect with the duck pond for educating them about wild life in Sequim. Two terrific playgrounds with swings, slides monkey bars and more gives the kiddos a great workout. Hope to get a picture of our favorite ducks soon (always forget to take the camera). See you at Carrie Blake Park. The Sequimers
