Incidentally, the fort was one of the locations for An Officer and A Gentleman , as was, in fact, the Tides Inn. After, we headed home. To avoid potential ferry crowds, we decided to drive the long way home, down Hood Canal and across the base of the Kitsap Peninsula. It was a beautiful and interesting drive, but we were really knackered when we finally made it home. We were both grateful to have Labor Day off, that's for sure.
Formal announcements are in the mail.
