Sekiu Family Vacation

We survived 7 days of camping,fishing and beach exploring in Sekiu WA. The weather was rainy and the fishing was just as dim but we still managed to have an awesome time! L to R-My Mom Sandi,Dad Jim,Brother Jim, Vern and I on "Dale's Beach".

This was camp for the week. On the left is the "Condos" that include a space heater AND running water (just don't drink it!)! Do you love the "Deluxe Double Kitchen"? Hehe We cooked all of our meals over an open fire...mmmmm!.On the menu? How about fresh caught salmon and mushrooms picked from the beautiful Northwest rain forest? Fancy yes I know.

 

Or perhaps you prefer a romantic lunch for 2?

How about Steak with a side of Cheese Whiz and Crackers?

Sooo romantic! I love my silly boyfriend!

 

 

And did I mention the "spa" facilities? Haha! Looks like (below) Mom treated herself to an "Awakening Hose Water Hair Rinse"   whadda trooper! I personally preferred the "Big Pot Of Hot Water Under The Stars" showers in front of the campfire. Sorry no pics of that...don't think Vern didn't try!

Now that you've had a tour,I will share photos of us enjoying some the fun activities and sights from our little bit of paradise-

 

Not much will stop us from agate hunting! Vista Beach is worth the crawl!

  

Beach butterflies

  

The beach where we found a ton of sea glass on Mom and I's adventure day!

  

My Dad doing what he loves best-FISHING!

Happy Fishermen!

Pouring down rain...Vern holds my pink umbrella over my Dad while he finishes cleaning the fish. Now that's love! Haha What's wrong Vern? You don't want your picture taken with the pink umbrella? It matches your pink beach bucket(see below)! LOL

To be fair here's a picture of me after 5 days of camping-no make up or hair tools for 7 whole days!

So after a long dreamy vacation we packed up our sea treasures..

and headed home along Lake Cresent.

We decided after a few hours to stop and get some lunch. As we pulled into the parking lot of a small road side restaurant the sign read "Fat Smitty's Burgers"...I was hoping this was a yummy reward for my 7 days of cooking and cleaning.....so we went in.

What. The. Hell.. is this place? Dollar bills covered every inch of the walls with business cards,photos and I.D.'s. Oh boy. We were still in shock when the waiter came to take our order. He suggested the "Fat Smitty Burger" and we all shook our heads in agreement,I think we were still in shock trying to take it all in. Dad was smart,he opted for a bowl of clam chowder. As we waited we heard the story of how 26 years ago a business man left his card and a dollar bill to stuck to the wall. The place is wild,some places are 5-8 bills thick and hanging from EVERYWHERE! Then..we all start to ask the same question "What exactly is a Smitty Burger"? Our answer arrived shortly after and we were in greasy,beefy Heaven...

Sorry for the blur but I think my Brother was giddy with excitement too! 15 minutes later I surrendered to the burger only conquering half...oh but it was goooood. I left a business card and a dollar on the wall.
I'll be back.

Lastly tonight I will leave with some rainbow photos I took that I just love :) Enjoy!

PS-
For those of you who haven't seen it,I thought I'd also share the photo of Vern with his pink beach bucket!

"You better NOT be taking a picture of this!"

I love you :p
