Yesterday was the first day of our Spring Break. Since it was sunny out, we decided to hit the road for a good old fashioned day trip--this time to one of my all-time favorites: Port Townsend!
We got to PT right before noon. We picked up a pizza from Waterfront and high-tailed it on over to the campgrounds to have a picnic right on the beach (although we did do a little real estate snooping and wild daydreaming).
Dutch forgot about the picnic part, though, and just hightailed it right onto the sand.
Give that boy a sandy beach and he's a happy camper.
And this girl got some perfect wind going under her frog kite. She ran back and forth up and down the sandy beach for nearly two hours.
Side note: the poor girl got this frog kite a little out of control at one point. It started twisting and turning, along with her now much longer hair. This turned out to be a bad combo as she came running back to Cam and I holding the kite's string with a BIG knob of her hair that had been pulled out! My poor girl!
It didn't take long for both of these rugrats to ditch the rainboots we'd brought (I pictured them walking out into the water but these Washingtonian babies know better). Dutch ran windsprints back and forth across the sand with his mouth wide open hollering as he went. In socks (??).
Then he found a big driftwood covered in "popsicles" (barnacles; see previous post "Speaking Dutch"). This was fascinating for a good long time.
In keeping with tradition, we hit up Elevated Ice Cream before catching the ferry back home.
And eating our cones on the new playground next door! We had such a blast. I'm glad this crew shares my love of day-tripping.
