We spent the weekend at home planning for our camping trip. A few months earlier, I made reservations for Salt Creek State Park, just west of Port Angeles. We planned to camp two nights, then head out to Neah Bay and hike to Shi Shi Beach for an overnighter. I was really excited about this. Well, the weather did not cooperate.. The forecast called for 50 degrees and rain. This was not how we were going to end our summer.
I quickly began searching East of the mountains, where the sun usually shines. I tried Crescent Bar and a cool place near Moses Lake that I can't remember now. Both were booked solid.
I finally came across Sun Lakes Resort and State Park. They have a pool, a golf course, a mini golf course, grocery store and.. availability. This was our destination.
We arrived on Monday afternoon. The weather was decent, mid 70's and mostly sunny. We quickly set up camp and ran for the lake.
The lake was fabulous! Warm, clean and clear. The girls were wading out into the lake slowly. I walked out on the dock and jumped in. That was all it took, the girls were in the lake from then on. Several times we rented paddle boats and went to the middle of the lake, tied them together and swam off the boats. It was great!
That night it was very windy, gusting to 30 I estimate. No one slept much as our tents thrashed around in the wind. The next night was much better, we all slept good.
We left Wednesday and drove 40 miles west to Wenatchee, where we stayed our final night at our favorite hotel, The Coast Convention Center Hotel. It has a great pool, which the kids wasted no time getting in to. I lounged in the sun and relaxed.
Wild Waves Log ride, we got wet!
