Summer Plans

So the island got majorly flooded this winter.  So the annual Memorial Day camping is cancelled there.  And naturally it is too late to find many reservations anywhere else.  Then it turned out that Pat had an opportunity to attend a Burning Man thing.  So he wanted to do that.  Our summer does not start with camping on the Columbia.  But what we do have planned......
Two camping trips at the beach in yurts.  One of the reservations I got was amazing.  Last yurt for that weekend.  My guess is it was a cancellation and I just happened to be looking at the right time.  So one of those is at Cape Disappointment and the other is at Grayland Beach.
We have a family reunion in July and will spend two nights in Bellingham.  We have MN relatives coming also.  :)
This year we will be home for Harvest Days so hope to do the Cruise In, assuming it is still going on this year.
We have the fair as a given.  Still looking for someone to take with to do rides with the littles.
I have concert tickets.
My friend Doug had mentioned doing a ride down to Crater Lake, and while I wasn't sure that plan ever finalized or really included me....am leaving space open in August for it.  I will have to get back with him on that when he returns from his vacation to the Midwest.  Because if it is a go....I'm going to need to talk to Nana Nita.
Then we have some day plans, the zoo, maybe Omsi and the children's museum in Olympia.
Sounds like a pretty good summer.
Liz and I were talking about things our grandparents did or didn't do with us as kids.  She had wonderful grandparents.  So did I but they saw us all the time until we moved 1700 miles away.  So the littles don't have the family relationships that build great foundations for them.  So while I can't give them the relationship experiences, I have given them many many life experiences.  Doing the best I can with what I have.
