sequim lavender festival

The annual Sequim Lavender Festival is this weekend, and I'm sad to miss it this year! All the more reason to make it happen next year. Lavender is one my favorite flowers, especially the "Royal Velvet" variety. There were 8 different farms to visit when we went, and each was worth taking a look at, although Port Williams and Jardin du Soleil were my favorites. The farmers and volunteers give tours and are on hand to give you information on the plants, harvesting, making essential oils, etc. Kip and I went 2 years ago (below photos) for the weekend and camped at the Dungeness Spit Recreation Area. Our the campground is on a bluff overlooking the ocean, and out site was about 25 feet from the edge. It was heaven.
