Vacation Favorites

I know, seems like really old news, and those of you who are my friends on facebook have already seen most of these pictures ages ago, but I said I was going to post them, so here goes.

First just let me say, we all absolutely loved Washington.  As in, when can we move on up - LOVE.  There is so much to do and see, the people were so friendly, and the weather was wonderful.  I know I might change my mind in the rainy season, but while we were there it was great.

Here was the cabin we stayed in during our stay.

Which overlooked the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

We went on plenty of treasure hunts.

As much as we would have just loved to stay at the cabin the whole time, we did get out and see some of the area.

Next up is Second Beach, I think it was our favorite.  (There is a Third Beach, too, but we ran out of time). : (
And you should know, that aside from First Beach all of these other beaches required a hike to get to them.

The trails all looked like this.

And then you have to climb over lots of logs, obstacle-course-style, to get to the sand.

This turkey is smiling so big because he got carried over the log jam.

Well, there you go, our vacation has (finally!) been blogged.  I have tons more pictures, but I'm sure you were thinking enough already a few scrolls back!

If you've made it to the end I hope you have a great weekend!
