Memorial Day weekend was beautiful and a whole lotta fun! We took a camping trip to Sequim Bay. This was the first time we had been there. The weather was gorgeous and there was no lack of things to do. Had we known there was so much clamming going on we would've gotten licenses and dug for them. As it was Lauren was content to use a shell to dig and then give away her clams. Ashley just enjoyed looking for crabs.
We also did a lot of biking. We had no idea when we packed the bikes that the Olympic Discovery Trail was there. Apparently it goes all the way into Port Angeles. We took several really good rides and got lots of great exercise and fresh air!!
Another highlight of the trip was the day we drove out to the Dungeness Spit. We hiked about a half mile down to the beach and from there it would've been another 5 mile hike out to the Light House. We decided just to have our picnic lunch and enjoy the beach rather than do the hike. It was a beautiful day and the girls especially enjoyed the beach. Kurt and Lauren built a fort together and we found a REALLY long piece of sea kelp that we all took turns whipping. Kurt unfortunately whipped the back of his calf pretty good, after which he exclaimed, "I guess I don't know how to use a whip!" ;)
Of course no camping trip would be complete without a campfire and toasted marshmallows. Kurt built a great fire for us every night. We had to do a little coaxing to get Ashley and Lauren to come out of the camper and enjoy the outdoors. Of course we let them watch movies after the fire! :)
The whole weekend was a blast and we would love to go back some day!
