Seaview, Long Island, WA, 8/16-18/2019


After reading an article in the travel section of the Washington Post in the spring about vintage trailers, we decided to rent one in Seaview, Washington.  Yes, that's our trailer. 


We made the rental decision without having any idea about the location.  Little did we know that the beach was a 1/3 mile down the road and that a trail called the Discovery Trail runs along the beach and through the dunes for 1/2 the length of the 28-mile Long Beach peninsula. In short, a biker's, walker's and runner's paradise!



On the Discovery trail north: 
Memorial for a grey whale (skeleton) found by Lewis and Clark in 1805. 
All that is left is the jaw and a section of the spine. 



In addition, we were treated to a spectacle of kites flying over the dunes and beach.  
And not just any flying; 
it was training time in preparation for the National Kite Flying competition to start the following Monday. 

My favorite kite at the World Kite Museum.
