Saturday At Point Defiance



Such a pretty day on Saturday and the weather forecast for the next few days looked dreary. So we decided to trek down to Tacoma and visit Point Defiance. They have a nice beach their, some old growth forest, a zoo (which we did not partake of), a turn of the century fort (too late to take a tour of) and lots of other goodies.




The trails often intersect the back side of the Point Defiance zoo and we happened upon some reindeer enjoying a chew.




Here are some shots over by the bait shop and boat launch for fishermen.




Not too much compelling action in the old growth forest but it is a nice walk.



The fort closed at 5 PM and we stumbled upon the road to it around 4:45 PM. So we didn’t get a chance to check it out but it is now on the list for this summer!





Finally, some shots from the car ride going back home.
