beach

So my people and I went to the Washington coast for a few days this past week.  It was awesome!  We had a house on the beach, well a short walk across sand dunes and a bridge to the beach.
 Gotta rest up for the vacation!
 Our place! 
 See that dot on the right on the beach? 
 It is a 68 foot fin whale that died about a month ago and was washed up on shore. It was disgusting and smelly!  I loved it. I rolled in it!  Here is a link to the news story. 
 Playing in the pacific ocean!! So much fun. 



 Looking back at the row of houses.  Ours was about 4 in from the right.
 Sunset.
 Deer outside our window.  I chased it once! 

 Marshall playing a bowling game.
 Our last morning relaxing. I wanted to stay!  My people promised we could go back!

I really enjoyed your vacations pictures, Brian. I can't believe you had a good time rolling on the dead whale. Ee1! The Washington state shores of the Pacific Ocean are really different from down in California, but pretty is a different sort of way. I'm glad you had such a good time.

Was the water cold?

What a fun vacation for all of you. People don't realize that when you live in Seattle that yoy aren't right on the ocean.
This sounds like a neat place to just have fun in the water and relax.

Wow! Lovely...any time spent near the ocean is good time. Another reason I'm not sure if I will be able to retire to Minnesota anymore. I just love being near the water too much...maybe Duluth?

So, what DO they end up doing with the whale anyway? Waiting for it to decompose to a certain point and then push it back out to sea? Curious...macabre, but curious.

Rachel, I was told they normally bury a whale, but it is so heavy and expensive they will let nature take its course.

Glad you had a nice time. I never want to leave either.
