Fort Worden is a couple hours away from where I live. Fort Worden (along with Fort Flagler and Casey) was built at the entrance of Admiralty Inlet to protect the Puget Sound. The fort never fired a hostile shot and eventually, Fort Worden State Park opened in 1973.

I believe that my father took me to the state park a couple of times when I was younger, but my memories of these trips are very vague so I'll have to ask him about it sometime.

I've only skied before. Snowboarding looks fun but I've never gotten a chance to try. A lot of the mountains around Washington and Idaho are pretty good but I'd like to take a trip to Whistler sometime soon.
