Surfin' in the USA

We're back from our camping trip and are now packing again to leave for Herbert tomorrow. It was a good trip down the coast, a little cooler and cloudier right on the coast than 10 minutes inland but overall a good time. We headed down Thursday morning and made it to our site in the late afternoon. We decided to set up all our tents on one site instead of two and canceled our other site since we all could fit in one. First thing we did was checked out the foggy beach and some of the boys skimboarded for a bit. Then we headed back for a wiener roast and had a relaxing night by the fire. The next morning we took our time eating and then headed a little south to a surfing beach called Cape Kiwanda. It was pretty foggy until the afternoon when the sun finally started shining and all the surfers got nice burnt faces. I hung out on the beach and walked to the other end where other surfers were. After hauling all our gear back to the rental shop everyone was pretty exhausted. We came back to our site and cooked up some spaghetti and garlic bread and then enjoyed a sunset at the beach and hung out by the fire. The next morning we had a big brunch and then packed up and headed to a state park near Tacoma where we camped for the night. This site was a double joined site and was a lot more private and shaded than our last. The beach definitely wasn't as good or as close but it was a good spot to camp. That night us girls hiked from the beach to the campsite while the boys rode around in Jason's truck getting fire wood. The rest of the night was spent enjoying a never ending fire while we burned all the wood we had left. Sunday we went our separate ways with us and Ryan and Cheryl going to the Mariners game against the Yankees and the other four stopping by the outlet malls on the way home. The baseball game was a blow-out so it wasn't too exciting but it was a perfect afternoon for watching a game.



Now we have our semi-final baseball game tonight and then we head to Herbert tomorrow morning for almost two weeks at the farm. We're hoping Molly will be able to drive in a car for that long and that she'll do good at the farm. We're looking forward to seeing everyone and having some good times out in SK.
