Camping at Deception Pass State Park

This weekend we tried camping together for the first time. After converting the back of our car into a bed (with a folding wooden platform + foam mattress) we crossed the border, drove for an hour (through scenery that looked a lot like the route to Tofino) and ended up at our final destination: Deception Pass Park on Whidbey Island.

The campground we chose had a partial ocean view, was a reasonable distance from the 'facilities' and had a picnic table and fire pit ready for use. Other than getting a little dirty (the part I don't like about camping) we had a great time exploring the park, playing paddle ball and getting coffees in Oak Harbour and a cinnamon bun in Anacortes.

The final verdict: Yes we will camp again. Just need to make the SUV-bed a little more comfortable and pick up a few items which will better facilitate our camping experience.

Here are some pics from our overnight excursion:

Maybe Next Year --bye bye hockey, hello golf

The Canuckers lost tonight. The most unfortunate part of the game (other than the ratio of ducks shots vs canuck shots on goal) was when Luongo dove face-first to the ice when he realized he'd let in the ducks' winning goal. So sad.

Lu kept the team going in the playoffs. I was kinda hoping that our city could continue rallying for the team and see the canucks to the third round. Maybe next year?

facebook -ok I've given in

Facebook is insane. I read a few articles about it, got a few friend requests and now I've finally joined the masses and put myself 'out there' online to reconnect with old friends, new friends and everyone in between.

I wonder what the next online community craze will be?

PS - re: facebook. Groups are funny. Maybe I'll start a group about women who wear guy's deoderant when they play sports.....
