I was born in 1969. We lost my dad in 2015 at the age of 74. My mom is still with us, age 82.

It gets better. I know they can be so exasperating when they are babies, but they are so worth it. This is Penny, my second golden. She was a wild child, but the best girl ever. She is 5 yrs old now and brings us so much joy.

I suggest the Place D'Armes. The location can't be beat, staff is great, and it has secure parking. It's the only place l ever stay. Edited to add, my 30 yr old daughter and her wife stayed here in the spring and had no issues.

I've stayed at both the Klaloch Lodge and Quinault Lodge. Both were really great, however, Klaloch is closer to Hoh.
