Got another day trip in today! Woo-hoo!
After the VBS finale and BBQ at church, we headed to DuPont/Nisqually.
First stop was a shipwreck geocache Bruce wanted to visit. The kids were dragging and whining until they saw our destination in the distance, then it turned into a fun adventure. Evidently a concrete and iron ship built during WW2 sank on a sand bar in DuPont. We started on a neighborhood trail behind the air force base, but then had to blaze our own path down very steep terrain and across RR tracks. We shared the sand bar with kayakers - I'm thinking by boat is much smarter than by land. Didn't find the cache, but had fun exploring the inside of the ship.
We grabbed a bite at Taco Time (where else in Olympia?!?) and did a quick one mile stroll around Nisqually Wildlife Refuge. We only saw four other people there, and one said "do you attend Longview Community? You're Marriage Man, aren't you?!?" Pretty funny.
Glad to be heading against traffic, and glad to be out in the sunshine enjoying our great state.
