Long Beach....Washington that is...

Last weekend I took Amtrak up to Kelso WA. and a friend of mine picked me up and we went camping. It was so amazing! The weather was great! Warm, sunny, clear skies. Just stunning.

In the camper at the park

After a shower, sun drying

Saw this swing set and knew I was going to have to swing on it! 

YAY! 

This was the park we camped at

There were a few of these baby birds around our site just hanging out with us it was awesome.

Cover bridge that you can drive though.  The River view

Approaching the bridge

The inside

I just thought the light made for a great picture with the shadows

Under the bridge

Puts thing in perspective, doesn't it?

We went to this awesome Irish Pub!  It was GREAT!

Homemade Apple pie from Duffys! 

Sitting outside of the bar drinking my beer, what a relaxing day

Made it to Long Beach

So of course I had to get a Strawberry Margarita!  Yum!

 Saw these huge chop sticks...

I was sushi!  hahahahaha

Then there was this frying pan, and well I was an egg....

time to flip!! 

Then I saw Thunder!

 and I had to ride him!!  It was GREAT!

 Welcome to Long Beach

 Beautiful day...

 A little shout out to my parents, I love you guys!

 Yeah my feet are white, so what!  That water was COLD!  But I played anyway

 You can actually drive on this beach but this guy I guess thought it would be fun to drive his Uhaul on the beach, needless to say he got stuck and luckily for him a few other SUV's ventured on the beach and pulled him out.  CRAZY!

 Back at camp, laying in the grass, the clouds and the sun were so beautiful.  I had to take some pictures.  It was the "golden hour"

 ME!

 Hello!

This is the beach where I was camping.  I woke up at 7 AM, why
I don't know, and walked the beach to take pictures and I thought I would share some of the awesome things I saw.

 Had to write my name in the sand haha!

Train station in Kelso WA.  heading back to Portland OR.  I had a great weekend just relaxing, taking pictures, site seeing, and of course drinking.  I did a lot of eating too but I honestly forgot to take pictures of the food before I inhaled in!  This was a much needed mini vaca.
