We Are Blooming at the Inn

May is a beautiful time on the Olympic Peninsula.  Our state flower, the rhododendron is in bloom, everywhere.  You can even see the light pink wild ones blooming along side the highways.  It is a gorgeous time to travel.

Everything was super busy over the Memorial Day weekend, but things have calmed down a bit, now, and you shouldn't have to fight the crowds at the beaches or rainforest.  The sun came out this afternoon and guests have been enjoying the front porch swing, with a grand very of the blooming flowers.  We should have a couple more weeks of relative quiet before the summer gets into full swing.  Come on out, enjoy the flowers and sit a spell.

Red, White and Blue at the Miller Tree Inn

Today begins Memorial Day weekend, the traditional kick off of the summer season.  It means so much more to us than that.  We are very appreciative of the sacrifices that members of the armed services and their families have made on the behalf of our nation and our citizens.  I am proud to say that my Dad served in the US Navy during World War II and the Korean Conflict.  Not a day goes by that we don't miss him.  Thanks, Dad!

The colors will stay up as we celebrate Flag Day on June 14 and the 4th of July, our nation's birthday.  Here in Forks, the 4th is our town's annual big celebration.  There will be a parade, salmon BBQ, Demo Derby, games in the park and fireworks to end the day.  There is always an arts and crafts show, fun run and kids play day during the weekend.  Come on over and help us celebrate!  As of today (May 22) we still have a few rooms left scattered throughout the weekend.

New Post Cards and Rack Cards for Miller Tree Inn

This week we received new post cards and rack cards for the Miller Tree Inn.  The lovely Gwuinifer Caradine has been working with us to put these together and she did a marvelous job.  We also were excited to use the creative photography of Marcus Berg of Unique Angles Photography.  It is always a pleasure to work with such talented people.  We know our guests and future guests will appreciate their work.

We have been having some beautiful and spring like weather. (Showers one moment and sunshine the next.)  Last weekend we were blessed with beautiful, warm and sunny days.  Today is a little breezy, but the sun is out, so we won't be complaining.

Sunday is Mother's Day and we would like to take this opportunity to wish all mothers a very happy day.  Though our own mothers are gone, we remember them lovingly and fondly and we can still see them and feel them in our hearts.
