WESTPORT BY THE SEA

 

WE ENJOYED GOING  TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN. WE WOULD GO DOWNTOWN AND WATCH THE SHIPS COME IN OR JUST GO FOR  A SHORT WALK ON THE BEACH. LAURIEJEAN WANTED TO GO TO HALF MOON BAY ONE DAY SO WE COULD COLLECT SHELLS AND AGATES TOGETHER. SHE HAS BECOME AN AVID COLLECTOR AND SEPARATES HER SHELLS INTO CATAGORIES. 

 

 

WE WERE WAITING FOR A NICE WARM DAY, BUT HAD TO SETTLE FOR AN  "IT'S NOT RAINING DAY".

 

 

WE HAD A GREAT TIME... WE FOUND BABY  CRABS ON THE BEACH AND THIS HERMITCRAB THAT LAURIEJEAN WANTED TO TAKE HOME.....JIM SAID NO!

 

 

SHE KEEPS THEM AS PETS!! THE TIDE WAS STARTING TO COME IN, SO WE DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO GO.

 

 

I HAD BEEN  WALKING EVERYDAY AROUND THE RV PARK AND SAW IN THE PAPER THEY WERE HAVING A FOUR MILE WALK ON THE 8TH OF JUNE. WE THOUGHT WE COULD WALK FOUR MILES. JAN, ONE OF THE WORKAMPERS HERE WENT WITH US. WE SIGNED UP AT THIS NEAT OLD COMMUNITY HALL.....REMINDED ME OF OURS  IN ROCKERVILLE.

 

 

IT WAS A SUNNY DAY, STARTED OUT CHILLY.

 

 

BUT EVEN BEFORE WE GOT STARTED WALKING IT WAS TOO WARM FOR JACKETS!

 

 

THE WALK WENT RIGHT ALONG THE  OCEAN.....LOTS OF PEOPLE, KIDS, DOGS!

 

 

IT TOOK AN HOUR AND 10 MINUTES TO WALK IT AND THEN WE WERE TREATED TO  A WONDERFUL  LUNCH OF CRANBERRY CHICKEN SALAD.....YUMMY!!!!

 

FINALLY WENT TO A "CARDS NIGHT" WITH THE WORKAMPERS......IT WAS FUN!!

 

 

 

ALSO, JAN AND I STARTED WALKING TOGETHER ALMOST  DAILY AND IF IT WAS RAINING WE WOULD GET HER ZUMBA GOLD DVD OUT AND DO ZUMBA IN THE REC BUILDING.

 

DARRELL AND I HAD BEEN  BUSY MAKING SPINNERS FOR THE PURPLE GARDEN, WE  SPRAY PAINTED THEM PURPLE....IT REALLY ADDED TO THE PURPLE GARDEN  AND GAIL WAS PLEASED.

 

 

 

ANOTHER ONE OF OUR DAYS OFF WE WENT EXPLORING AND ENDED UP IN PACIFIC BEACH.

 

 

WHEN I PICTURED  THE WASHINGTON COAST THIS IS WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE.

 

 

 

WE WISHED WE HAD BROUGHT MAGGIE AND MARLEE WITH US....THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A BALL!!

 

 

PACIFIC BEACH SITS ABOVE THE PACIFIC OCEAN....BUT IT SURE IS CLOSE TO THE OCEAN!!

 

 

 

I TASTED MY FIRST FRESH SALMON ON JUNE 18TH.  IT WAS DELICIOUS....COOKED IT ON THE GRILL.
