Grandpa and Me & 3 had a few free days to go camping together. We threw our tent and sleeping bags into the camper, climbed in the cab with my dad, and drove off to Deception Pass for 2 nights of camping….
….which was simply the worst location we could have found for those few days. The local navy base was running drills with their biggest, noisiest planes and carriers. Yes, absolutely the sound of freedom, but no less ear-clutching, head-throbbing aural terror every 5-10 minutes up until midnight. We left after one night, and that was 12 hours too long!
All that notwithstanding, the beach down at Deception is fabulous, and I wish we could have stayed longer.
My parents had visited another campground they liked off Highway 2 so we headed there. There we found a spot to do My Favorite Thing—reading on a beach while the kids play in the sand and water. It was a river bank, but it more than suited.
Grandpa already had a fire going when we got back to camp, and we took ready advantage.
We put a new twist on s’mores by taking the brownies Grandma sent, adding a golden marshmallow on top, and sandwiching it with a thin mint cookie. Yeah, it was pretty good.
Once the monkeys were fed, they started climbing the surrounding trees. Can you spot Kyla?
