We just got back from a family adventure, camping for Father's Day. Despite a little rain and some vomit, things turned out pretty well. Friday night found us setting up camp in the rain. What kind of Western Washington residents would we be if we let a little rain stop us? We were able to get a fire going and roast some hot dogs and marshmallows (not at the same time). A few hours later, the barf hit the fan-- well, not the fan, but blankets and pajamas. RTR woke up around one AM blowing chunks. We had to use our glow sticks to clean up the mess as best we could. But we forgot about the second round rule when it comes to throwing up. Just when we're all ready to settle back in, here comes the second round. So now we're out of clean pajamas and warm bedding for RTR. I have to admit I didn't anticipate needing more than one set of pajamas for any of us. Thank goodness we know someone with laundry facilities nearby. Other than that, it was fun. South Whidbey State Park is a great place for families. Recommend campsites 15, 37 and 40. There's a fun beach for building dams in the sand (imagine CSR yelling "Dam it, dam it"), exploring the low tide and a patch of natural clay for getting all gooey messy.
