Astoria Column

We spent some time last weekend over Memorial Day in Oregon.  We met up with friends at Cannon Beach and then we stopped at the Astoria Column on the way back home.  The views from the column were unreal!

Tumwater Falls

The family and I spent a little weekend getaway in Olympia and explored some of our old city!  We spent our first 18 months living in WA in the Olympia/Lacey area and really like that part on the state.  We spent some time at Tumwater Falls loved walking along the river and seeing the falls.  Little Rosie walked the entire route around and loved being so independent and thinking she was as big as her older siblings.  The falls also have a fun little park that the kiddos can play at and when the salmon are running this is a great place to explore.  We love getting outside and exploring! 

Winter Hiking @ Sequalitchew Creek Trail

We had some sunny days last weekend so we spent Sunday afternoon out and about hiking around the Sequalitchew Creek Trail and along the shores of the mighty Puget Sound.  This was the second time hiking here and it was nice.  They actually paved the first few hundred yards of the trail now and then it turns to dirt.  It's just over 1 mile in to the tunnel and the coast.  One you get there there is plenty of beach to explore, especially when the tide is low.  The views are amazing and we always have a great time hiking around town. 

Na Pali Coast Hiking

We headed up to the north end of the island one day to explore some towns, beaches and hike around the Na Pali Coast.  The views were amazing, although the trail was muddy!  We hiked in, had lunch at an amazing beach on the rocks , then some of us hiked up stream to the waterfall and others went back to another beach.  It was a day well spent exploring the coast!
