Dash Point

Today we went to Dash Point. On the sound about 10 min. from Federal Way, it is apparently an old stomping ground for my husband. When he was little his whole family would camp there in the summer. It wasn't quite as cool as I was expecting but it wasn't bad either. You know how childhood memories have a way of making places/things a little more "special" in your mind than they are in reality. Nevertheless he seemed to enjoy telling me about the gooey ducks he would dig and the boards they like to "glide" on. Something like a mini surfboard that you toss onto very shallow water and jump on, skimming for several feet at a time. We saw some guys doing it today but I didn't get a picture. it did look like fun. It started out a little cloudy but the sun came out and I was shutter happy! So here are a bunch of pictures of random things that I am sure will bore you but filled my hour with "click, click, click" happiness. I do love getting outside.
