So if you are looking for a fun day to fill a day around Olympia here is a suggestion that will not break the bank.

First head off to Wolf Haven and take a tour (which start on the hour). You get to learn a lot about wolves and why they are such a beneficial part of the ecosystem. Admission is $10, if you grab one of our maps or coupons you get $2 off. Either way it is well worth the price of admission.

Next it is off to the Monarch Sculputure Park. This is a non-profit outdoor art gallery. Self guided tours. Donations excepted. It is also located on the Chelalis Bicycle Trail. So if your keen you could do this as part of a bike ride from Olympia. It is an interesting mix of art and worth the stop.

Finally a bite to eat will be in order so on your way back to Olympia stop at Lattin’s Cider Mill. The apple cider is great! They have a country style produce store, home made pies and donuts. All the fixings for a nice casual lunch in their gardens and farm.

Of course ideally you will wind up back at our Bed and Breakfast for a relaxing late afternoon, followed by a delicious dinner at one of Olympia’s great restaurants.

It has been a very long time coming, but finally we have launched a new web site for the Swantown Inn B&B. We have not really changed the design much, as guests seem to like it as it is. However we have added some new features and functions. Here are just a few worthy of mention;

1. New PDF Directions, including GPS Co-ordinates.
2. Addition of integrated Google Maps for turn by turn directions to Inn and other attractions.
3. Integration of Twitter. Casey posts what is going on at the Inn and general interest items.
4. This Blog of course. For items, news and events that deserve more verbiage than Twitter allows!
5. New Photography of the Inn to reflect changes we have made. Photography is now a combination of Casey’s own work and that of professional photographer Marcus Berg of Unique Angles Photography.
6. There are nice little “techie” touches too that guests won’t see but will make life easier for us, the Innkeepers!

So we hope you find the web site not only a great resource for our Bed and Breakfast, but also for things to do in and around Olympia.
