Labor Day Weekend





We had the BEST Labor Day weekend. We went to Ilwaco. Spent time at Cape Disappointment and Long Beach too. We had a nice camping spot in the trees. My parents and my sister and her family came also. We had a campfire every nite. Warm days and chilly nites.
Cape Disappointment is one of the most beautiful places ever. We spent time on the beach below the high rock cliffs as well as hiking to lighthouses and enjoying the fantastic views. One of the beaches had tons of driftwood and we had fun exploring all the forts people had made with it. Ilwaco has a nice Farmers market on Saturdays.
Brian and I were were lucky enough to be able to spend an extra day. We spent time relaxing but we also took an amazing little hike to the beach through Beards Hollow. We were rewarded with some of the best beach views. Look at the photo of Brian on the rocks. The weather was warm and there were no crowds. It could not have been more perfect. The last day we packed up and parked the camper at the boardwalk at Long Beach. After getting ice cream, we dug and decorated a big hole in the sand for River. It was fun. It was a great last weekend before Brian took his trip to Germany. We miss him so much especially River.

What a great trip!
We traveled so much last year, and virtually none this year. Can't wait for Stu to get home, as I'm sure you're ready for Brian to be beack already.
Take care-
Tab
