Ginny and I had the day off together so we loaded up the dogs and headed to the beach for the day!
Our first stop along the way was just outside the small town of Skamokawa Wa at Skamokawa Farmstead Creamery. The story behind this place is heartfelt, the owners rescued roughly 50 goats and began their dream of making cheese. Now this is a GREAT story of a couple of amazing woman doing the right thing, they have a love for animals that you feel as soon as you arrive, their animals are so spoiled and so loved that for a moment you'd like to be a goat. Then there's the cheese, WHO DOESNT LIKE CHEESE? This stuff is good, cheese like Feta, and my favorite the Garlic Dill Chevre. Everything they use produced or grown locally. They are still under construction as they rescued their first goat less than a year ago, even so the Skamokawa Farmstead Creamery is worth the stop. You can find them on Facebook.
Once we got to the beach we did the usual beach combing, eating ice cream in Long Beach, and of course a stroll out to the North Jetty where we came across an angler packing a 20lb king back to his car. He posed for a photo and when I asked him what he caught it on I was surprised to hear Blue Fox Spinner, not a herring or anchovy under a float, not a Buzz Bomb or Pt Wilson Dart Jig, but a Blue Fox. ..Hhhmmm, I think I have some of them!
Here in SW Washington we live in a great area, there are SOOOOOO MANY things to do and see all in a days drive. Im sure in your area , where ever you are it's the same. So in the words of my late mother, YOU KIDS GO PLAY OUTSIDE!
