Camano day 1 arrival
Arrived at 2030.
Spent 1700 after in frenzied packing.
Arrived in the dark. Burke got our key since place closed at 2200. Enjoyed looking at the light sparkle across the water and twilight’s last gasp on the slew.
Bed by 2130.
Camano day 2
0700 awake
Communal breakfast with pancakes and bacon.
Hanging at beach.
Building fort.
Saw 2 eagles.
Lots on today’s agenda. Frog chorus started up out of the blue. Got a few moments alone to photograph.
Lunch
Biking in the cabin loop. Perfect for biking beginners. Laura almost creamed herself going downhill before she was ready.
Todd and Monica arrived & visited.
Naps. Wayne flew kites in a second beach expedition.
Burke’s surprise party.
Spaghetti for dinner.
S’mores, doughbabies, keylime pie, mint chip brownies for desert.
Gaming throughout the day.
Mostly this trip is about the enjoying the rhythms of life in the fellowship of friends.
Day 3
Up at 0700 again. Breakfast, packing, more rain. Breakfast was fun and filling.
Nicely, no meal was seriously rained on. Breakfast was the closest.
A last gasp at the beach with sun showers and wind. Used the indestructible fort as a wind shield.
Back up for bathroom breaks. Off to food. It was fun to see Stanwood and the slew in the daylight.
Stopped at McD’s at Seattle Premium outlets by Tulalip Casino. At tightly together since there were few tables and the place was packed.
Trick seems to be to approach it from the northern I-5 exit 202 since 200 is often packed.
Got shoes for kids via the outlet store. Bass is a nice store.
1400 Headed home. Long, relaxing weekend.
