Our plan for the day is to hit a bunch of thrift stores in the small towns around this area on a treasure hunt, of sorts. I look for books, Sam looks for Beanie Babies. Yes, Grammy, he is still collecting those things, thank you! LOL
We had a good day driving around and looking for treasure, with a Dairy Queen stop thrown in for energy replacement. :)
The next day we drove back to Point Defiance Park in Tacoma. We went there to the zoo the other day, but there is actually a whole park full of trails, woods, a marina, a beach, etc. to check out. We drove the five mile loop around the park first, then parked at the beach area to do a two mile hike. Again, Buster got to come along, so he was ready to roll! During the hike, we put Buster's special hiker's water bowl to good use, and he was grateful!
After the hike, we spent a couple hours at the beach so Sam could dig, and play, and dig, and play,.... The beach was more rocks than sand, but that didn't seem to slow him down. Buster and I relaxed in the grass, people and dog watching.
When Sam cooled down, we had an ice cream break, and then he climbed around on the sandy hills by the beach area. They went straight up, with lots of tree roots and rocks to climb on - a kid's dream! Buster was worn out, and slept on the drive home. :)
