Vacation 2010 - Day 5

Today Kenny and I got up at our usual time, since we didn't have to be at Kenny's friend's Rick house before 10 am. So we left around 9.45 am and got to Rick's house pretty much at 10 am. It was a very nice and warm welcome, and it was also the first time that Kenny and I met Rick and his family in person. Daisy and Tess didn't get along with each other at all. Tess is way too excited and Daisy doesn't quite understand what to make of it. So the only solution was to keep the 2 dogs apart from each other. Maybe with time they will warm up to each other. After that Rick's wife Amy prepared very delicious Swedish pancakes with strawberries.
After breakfast we left for a trip to the Washington Rain Forest. It took us
roughly a hour to get there. Again we were driving through lots and lots of
forest. We got to hang out at the beautiful lake Quinault. After that we walked over to the world's largest Spruce Tree and took lots of videos and quite an
decent amount of pix as well.
Our Daisy is quite shy and as the went on she warmed more and more up to Rick and his family. Next up was lunch at the Mercantile, a 'mom and pop' restaurant near the lake, and lunch was absolutely delicious. After lunch we hung out at the lake a second time. Next was a tour of a architectural very interesting lodge. Next we went to see Marriman Falls. It might not be the tallest waterfall,but it is certainly the most beautiful waterfall Kenny and I have seen on this tripso far. Believe it or not, but Daisy actually walked through water. Considering how water shy she is, that was pretty amazing.
After that we headed back to Ricks house and a delicious pot roast for dinner.
The we hang out with Rick's family for a couple of hours.
All in all it was a fun filled day with nice company.
