We spent an afternoon looking at rocks and strange creatures. We learned what lives in the water at the aquarium, so it was neat to see things in real life. Here is a rock covered with anemones and barnacles. They are hiding and not showing their true colors during low tide.
It was fun to discover geoducks. They liked to spray us with water as we walked by. Dj tried to catch a couple, but was never fast enough.
Apparently, they can sink down in the sand pretty far. Plus they are supposed to taste really good... 
There is no sand on the Puget Sound, only rocks. And not to far off, the forest.
We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub everyday and enjoying the sunset over the Puget Sound. Talk about an amazing view! 
There were a ton of morel mushrooms all over our campsite. We decided to take home the ones we accidently knocked over and give them a try. Pretty tasty.
We still felt a little adventurous and decided to do another geocache at Fort Necessity, this time a mulitcache. Although I have lived close to this place my whole life, I had never been there. We learned about the start of the French and Indian War, George Washington as a 22-year old leader of the Virginia militia, and the constucting of the first national road. The first stop of the cache was Fort Necissity, a simple, and really small structure. Washington was sent to build a road and find out what the sneaky French were up to. Instead, he started a war, and ended up building a fort of necessity to protect the troops.
The next stop was to Major-General Braddock's grave. Braddock was killed in battle, and Washington buried him right in the middle of the road out of fear that the Indians would deface his body. Washington had the army march right over his newly dug grave to hide all evidence. Braddock was not a friend to the Indians; when they wanted to join him in fighting agains the French, the Indians asked him for some land in return. Braddock said the land is for the British and not the savages! Almost 50 years later, Braddock's body was discovered and moved while builiding the national road.
Our last stop delt with Jumonville Glen, the site of the first fight of the French and Indian War. Washington and his gang snuck up on the French, and depending on who you listen to, someone started a skirmish. The French general, Jumonville, ended up dead. Washington took off, built Fort Necessity, and prepared for battle. The French and Indian's came, and Washington was forced to surrender. The British sent Braddock over from England to show the colonists how to fight, but that didn't go to well either. Somehow the British won this six year long war, something I've never really understood.
Somehow we got the hook-up on trail maps for our GPS. We have been reintroduced to the art of geocaching, and spent the weekend searching for hidden treasures. The first adventure led us down the Decker's Creek Rails to Trails and our very first find. Then we got a little more adventurous and headed to the muddy wasteland of Snake Hill Road. Dj found a multi-cache that lead us from lookout point to lookout point, with views spectacular. Snake Hill Road is directly opposite the river as Cooper's Rock, so it was neat seeing views from the other side.
View of Cheat Bridge... and beyond.
