Wes and Catniss (a new third cat we adopted, who is on meds and can’t yet be left alone with the other cats) were my co-pilots as we began our Spring Break adventure…an hour north, just up to Burlington.
Dwayne joined us later that night, but first we had to play a bit.

Wes just bought himself dual lightsabers after watching all the Star Wars movies with Papa. It amused him to no end.



Our second night was camping at Thousand Trails outside of La Conner. Having Dwayne’s car meant we could go into town and enjoy our first restaurant person experience in a year! I used to carry playing cards in my purse so, with a phone app, we could play cribbage while waiting for our food. I am out of the practice but a very eclectic store next door had one deck of playing cards–50’s pin ups. I was amused, and the kids only slightly horrified.
Back at camp, Dwayne and I enjoyed the gorgeous beaches and views.
Once Dwayne headed home on Sunday, the kids and I enjoyed (okay, Piper and Wes may put “enjoyed” in quotation marks when remembering the walks and bike ride) the Bow-Edison area before moving east on Highway 20. Rockport State Park was a great place to stop for lunch and smallish hike before we headed to our final destination in Marblemont.
After a few too many midnights of Catniss caterwauling and frigid sleeping temperatures (Kyla might have left a window open), we decided to come home on Wednesday. But we came back to temperatures in the 70s, so we didn’t have any loss, especially when I got to paddleboard twice before school started again. Happy Spring Break–now just making it summer!
