Washington Coast - Willapa Bay/Long Beach/Cape Disappointment

Just as the song "Five More Minutes" goes...

Time rolls by, the clock don't stop
I wish I had a few more drops
Of the good stuff, the good times
Oh but they just keep on flying
Right on by, like it ain't nothing
Wish I had me a pause button
Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it
And give myself five more minutes

I wish time would slow down. This year we spent President's Day weekend on the coast of Washington instead of on the slopes skiing like we usually do. We stayed at the Bay Center KOA on Willapa Bay in their Deluxe Cabin. It was PERFECT. There was a queen bed, 2 bunks, your own shower and a kitchenette. The outside patio was also a great compliment: a fire pit, a gas grill and a porch swing. The weather throughout our entire stay worked well in our favor and we had a great time! 😏


 
After getting settled in we decided to check out the private beachfront to scope out the area where we would go clamming the next morning to harvest some clams for the paella dish I had planned to make. The beach is just through a short forest and down a flight of stairs.

Our clamming experience there was awesome. The clams were of abundance and we harvested more than enough for my paella dish.

Paella for Dinner
The area on the southern coast of Washington provided for some great nearby day adventures, too! We strolled through Long Beach and visited Cape Disappointment.
