Long Beach Washington!

This trip totally rocked! We loaded up our bicycles, consulted the clamming experts and took off as soon as Liam got home from his business trip. Everything worked out great! Our hotel was super cheap and we could ride our bikes right from the Lanai to the beach! Washington beaches typically have really hard packed sand, and so they are great for bike riding! Not to mention that long beach is the longest beach in America!

Clamming was so exciting! We stomped around on the sand until we would see a little clam hole, and then we stuck the clam gun down and pulled up a huge razor clam! (hopefully before the surf came rushing in to get us wet and cold). We heard it was a very bad year, so we didn't quite catch our limit but we sure had a blast.

We also rode the bikes on some very scenic trails (in the area where Lewis and Clark arrived at the west coast), and caught some beautiful light at the cape disapointment lighthouse (this may have been my favorite).

All in all, it was a beautiful and fabulous vacation! We had great weather and we loved getting out and riding our bikes all along the scenic Washington Coast! When we got home, we fried up our clams (so mild and sweet!) and made some really yummy clam chowder.
