Hood Canal
My parents own a cabin that sits right on the beach of Hood Canal on the Olympic Peninsula. Today was Spring Cleaning. E just lounged around most of the afternoon napping and watching videos while the rest of us scrubbed, vacuumed, laundered, and cleared cobwebs. We did though, get a chance to explore the low tide down on the beach for a while before taking the ferry home again.
