Tuesday July 28- Thursday July 30th (Days 439-441)
Seems like the summer is flying by, and we haven't been out in a while. So we jumped at the chance to join Marilyn and Gene again. This time we camped at Ocean City State Park, on the Washington coast. The weather in Seattle has been incredibly hot so far this summer, so we welcomed a chance to find some cooler days. The joke was on us! Definitely cooler at the ocean, what with the wind blowing! We didn't pack our warm blankets and sweatshirts....and decided that we had to always have them in Howie in the future, no matter what.
We took a lot of walks along the beach. The first 2 days were so foggy and misty that we had to follow our footprints in the sand to find our way back to the campground. Hardly saw the ocean waves until the very last day.
Our first camping spot. Since we didn't make reservations, we ended up moving for the next night, but that's not hard in Howie...especially when you're not plugged in. Just pick up the camp chairs and drive!
Marilyn and Gene had 2 of their granddaughters along, and wanted to do some fun things with them. So on Wednesday we went into the town of Ocean City and Harris joined the girls driving go-carts around and around and around.
Then they all had fun running into each other in the bumper cars.
Gene drove Marilyn and Judy to a quilt shop, and Harris took Natalie and Maddie geocaching. Natalie had done this a few years ago with us, but it was Maddie's first time. Natalie now has her own Geocaching handle and account!
Our last night and the weather was finally clearing up...no wind, no fog...beautiful sunset!
A short trip, but fun!
