Chambers Bay

Some days after work it's nice to run home, grab the kiddos and head down to Chambers Bay.  It's a quick little get away and the views are always amazing, even on the cloudy, overcast days. As we arrived on this particular day, the views were scenic with the crisp clue skies.

When we visit Chambers Bay  we will either stay at the top of the bay and play at the awesome playground, or we will drive down to the meadows and walk along the trail all the way to the bridge that goes down to the water.   Either spot you choose, you can't go wrong.  This particular day we went down below, we ran along the trail and raced each other while I pushed baby R in the stroller and would occasionally stop to take a photo with the camera that was strapped around my neck.   The closer we got to the water the colder is became.  The fresh cold air felt good though and we continue to run to the end of the bridge.  We looked at all of the locks, checked the tide of the water, soaked up the amazing views and then stared the race back on the bridge.  We were quickly distracted as a train came by and we had to stop and count all of the cars and see what they were carrying.

After the train passed, we continued on the path all the way back to the car where we could get in and warm up from the cold air.  This particular happened to be a quick and simple adventure, yet an adventure that we will remember.  It's these small moments that mean a lot to me as a father, and hopefully to my children as well.  I will cherish these moments now because in the future years they may not want to escape the house for a brief moment because of school, sports, church or some other type of activity.  Until then, I will make the most of what I have.
