Home from Washington.

We're home! We had a good time in Washington. Andrew and I fished, hiked and played poker with Andrew's uncles and Grandpa, and Mali hung out with Grandma.
Andrew caught a 5 lb. salmon that we ate tonight for dinner with Anayas, Alana, and Paul.
More on the trip:
David joined us Monday morning for the lonnnnggg drive up to Sekiu - made an hour longer because the Hood River bridge was closed for an upgrade. Grandpa did all the driving, since he had his boat attached. Andrew did his sudoku puzzles all the way there.
We waited awhile in Sekiu for John to arrive, then went out on the boat without him. Dave's cell phone didn't work in Sekiu because he just switched to Singular from Verizon (we think), and I left mine in the van at G&G's house. John tried calling Grandpa's cell phone only to hear it ringing in the truck, parked in front of the cabin.
Verizon coverage was good even out on the water, so John and Denny could talk all they wanted.
John brought bacon and homegrown tomatos, and cooked up a storm of BLTs. Andrew and David had Bacon and cheese sandwiches instead, which John also happily cooked.

It is very beautiful out there, I love being out in the Olympics. Tuesday, Andrew and I slept in (until 10:00!) while Grandpa, John, and Dave fished. Andrew, Grandpa and I fished for awhile with little success, the mornings were definitely better. Grandpa trained Dave on the boat so he and John could go out then while Grandpa took Andrew and I hiking up past Neah Bay on the Cape Flattery Trail.
Wednesday was similar, except John left for home after the morning fish, and then Dave came with us on the Lake Ozette trail. Grandpa did the boardwalk hike and then returned to the truck for a nap. Dave, Andrew and I walked the 3 miles on the beach, but missed the petroglyphs as the tide was in a bit. Hiking around the headlands was steep enough to make Andrew nervous, but there were ropes to hang on to while going up and down. Luckily it was not wet or it would have been a little dangerous. Andrew was a little tired for the last three miles of boardwalk. The beach is beautiful, but the walking was hard, especially after being spoiled by the boardwalk. I want to get a kayak there somehow on a decent day and go investigate all the rocks poking out of the water.
