Earlier this month, The Boyfriend and I took a day trip to Hood Canal<\/a><\/strong> and the town of Union.<\/a><\/strong> I had read a short blurb about it in the Yahoo! Travel feature, America’s Prettiest Cities<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Less than 2 hours (94 miles) from Seattle, Union is <\/em>a very pretty town. Unfortunately, at this time of year, there is apparently nothing to do other than drive along the canal. And I do mean drive<\/em>: the only pullout or scenic viewpoint on the canal side was Twanoh State Park<\/a><\/strong> … and it was closed for maintenance and\/or the season. (The canal-adjacent part — with picnic areas and restrooms — was closed. The campgrounds and parking lot across the street {State Route 106} were open.)<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable trip and we hope to make a return visit during the spring or summer.<\/p>\n
