Mid-fall isn't the most logical time to go to the beach, especially in Washington, but it's still beautiful! We went to Westport with the Olivers and had a very relaxing weekend full of walks on the beach, playing games, eating good food, and long, uninterrupted conversations!
When we arrived it was low tide and we went for a walk while the sun set...
and the moon rose!
The Westport lighthouse peaks out over the trees. I was surprised it was so far away from the water.
The next day the clouds rolled in and we knew it was going to rain, but braved a walk anyway. We set out along a nice, 2 mile paved path along the beach.
At the end is a big observation tower, which we climbed to get a better view. Then the rain started. We walked into town, which was virtually deserted, and escaped into a small diner. After a few minutes, we realized the rain was coming down harder. We debated about calling a taxi or walking back in the pouring rain. Brad jokingly offered one of the diner employees $5 to give us ride back to our condo, and he said, "Sure! I'm just getting off work, anyway!" Small tourist towns in the off-season do have their virtues!
