Weekend Getaway: The WA Coast

We went away to the beach this past weekend and we are so glad we did!  It had been too long since I'd seen my grandparents.  They've only seen BB twice and since Dan is home (i.e. not touring) for so long, we made sure we got out there.  It's a 3 hour drive each way.  I dont like being in the car for so long but it's such a pretty drive!

The house is my Aunt Yvonne's.  It is so adorable!  There is a loft with a bed and a futon, and a futon couch on the main floor.  Technically it sleeps 6 but it's tiny.  The Washington coast is not the best beach in the world.  It's cold and rainy but the towns are so cute, people are friendly, and there's a certain feeling of solitude and peace.  We really had a great time walking to Jack's Country Store, watching seagulls, talking to locals, and relaxing.  We are hoping to go back when the weather is nice.  I haven't been out there in the summer-time since I was a kid!

An Instagram of Nana who got SUCH a kick out of BB.  Pure joy.

You may have seen on my Instagram that Dan put on his rubber boots and trudged down a hill, through the woods, to get a shot of this island on the camera. Here's the shot of the island.  So moody.  And the funny thing is ... it's not a black and white photo.  That, my friends, is the Washington coast!
