The Log Cabin Resort is right on Lake Crescent and about 45 minutes from Port Angeles. They offer a campground, cabins, chalets, and lodge rooms. Needless to say, this resort is very nostalgic. I can't really speak for the other accommodations since we were using the campground. The campground was very cozy. Lucky for us, since we were there mid-week they weren't very busy and we didn't have any campers on either side of us. The best part of this campground was it's surroundings. The lake was magnificent. Crystal clear and turquoise blue in some parts. You could go to the end of the dock and see the bottom of the lake (approx 60ft down).
You couldn't help but be mesmerized by the surroundings, the mountains, the water, the....quiet. It was so peaceful!
Just because it was quiet and peaceful, doesn't mean we can't have a little fun!
The girls were content just splashing around in the water, so that's what we did.
If you look close you will see a family of ducks that wanted to swim with Morgan.
While the girls were busy playing in the water with grandma and grandpa, Casey and I snuck over to the lodge and rented a paddle boat. You should have seen the look of surprise on their faces!
Time to head back to the campsite and take a break from the sun. What can you do when you are camping with two little girls? We do pedicures!
The main attraction for Lake Crescent is the Lake Crescent Lodge. It was a short drive to the lodge and it was worth it. It's a piece of Washington history and it's great to see they are keeping those important artifacts alive and exciting for new people to see.
The porch was so much fun and I had visions in my head of great portraits of Brooke, but instead she felt the need to do the forced smile pose for me. Oh well, I was still soaking up the atmosphere.
Earlier in the summer we realized Morgan didn't know what a telephone booth was. Seriously, how can she not know what a telephone booth is? Anyways, we saw this booth in the lobby and needed to snap a picture. This one's for you Morgan!
That view! I'm in love with this lake.
Around the Lodge are a couple different accommodations. Here's the Singer Tavern Cottages.
And here are the Roosevelt Cottages. This is were President Roosevelt stayed when he was visiting the area to determine whether the Olympics should be a national park or not.
And...Brooke has officially lost her patience.
I promise Miss Brooke we are creating fun family memories and you will look back and be glad I took pictures.
Good bye Lake Crescent, we had a great family camping trip and I can't wait to go back and explore of your surroundings.
