Camping Trip: Deception Pass State Park


Great camping trip at Deception Pass - such a beautiful spot.  We managed to squeeze in a lot in a short time: rock climbing, finding tide pools, skinny dipping (just the kids!), sand dune hike, canoe ride, playing in the tent, campfire s'mores, beach walk/hike, and running into a former cal tri team member fishing on the shore!
The kids slept well and had a blast, lots of excitement for them.  We were supposed to go for 2 nights but skipped out on the first night because of rain.  Instead we had a nice family day at the Pacific Science center where Leana got to hold a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach (Juju touched it) and we all watched a 3D IMAX movie about butterflies.  Juju wouldn't wear the glasses but still seemed entertained, and Leana kept trying to grab the butterflies flying towards us.  Overall, a fabulous weekend and great way to end summer vacation.  School started today for Leana!
