Fort Vancouver 022810
The last weekend and the last day of February, SL and I just found the weather was so good for us to have a day trip and Fort Vancouver just came out from our mind. Yes, why not we just went there for a break? Though we read there is only a fort there, we just want to have a trip, even just spent half a day there.
After lunch, we took action immediately and headed to Fort Vancouver in Washington, it was about an hour driving distance from our apartment.
Wow, it was a good day, sunny and beautiful sky, SL took a lot of pictures for the sky there, natural is so nice, I like the clear sky and wide feild there, it allowed us to walk together.
Unfortunately, the aviation mesuem was closed on Sunday, therefore we only visited the Fort Vancouver National History Site, we paid USD5 for entrance fee and the ticket can last for seven days though we only used it for a day visit (can I get refund for the other six days?? :P)
There are several buildings/parts inside Fort Vancouver: Blacksmith Shop, Bakehouse, Indian Trade Shop and Dispensary, Wash House, Chief Factor's Residence, Kitchen, Fur Warehouse, Counting House, Jail, Carpenter Shop, Farming, Palisade, Bastion, The Village and Shipping. We walked around the fort and spent sometime in each part, I felt amased with people's knowledge from that time, they were able to use natural strength helps them to ease their daily activity, like the S shape window holders and sunlight clock. Here I would like to acknowledge that sunlight clock is really accurate, it was just same as time on our watch (I am wondering how is it during daylight saving period *_*).
After we came out from the fort, we just walked around that area and we found the only blossoming cherry tree there, of course we won't miss to take some pictures for it, I think there would be more cherry blossoming there now.
Well, we just spent a few hours in Fort Vancouver, but I felt really enjoyed with the trip, a spontaneous trip but happy and relax :D
