Falling Asleep to the Sounds of the Ocean

I had Monday off work, so on Sunday morning we packed up our backpacks and drove to La Push, WA. It is right on the coast by the Olympic Peninsula National Park. It took about 4 hours by ferry and driving. We first stopped off at Rialto Beach. We climbed over HUGE trees that were stacked on a small strip of beach that led out to this big rock.
At the bottom of the rock we found some tide pools filled with starfish.


Next we drove to Second Beach. We had to backpack in for about 3/4 a mile through the forest. It was a beautiful day, about 80 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. We set up our tent and chairs and just sat and relaxed while staring at the ocean.

We started a fire and cooked our Yummy dry packed food. It really was pretty good. We had lasagna and Raspberry Crumble for dessert.
We watched a beautiful sunset and fell asleep under a full moon with the whole beach to ourselves. This was our view from the tent.
The next morning we went exploring and discovered we didn't have the whole beach to ourselves, but the other people were so far from us we didn't even know they were there. It was an awesome weekend just Heath & I relaxing with 3 of our favorite things: the ocean, camping, and each other.

I just wish I could have been there with you two. ---Also, I figure if I comment two months later, you won't read my off-colored remark.
