Cama Beach State Park with the Toft Family

We spent the weekend at a really great state park. Cama Beach State Park is a restored primitive fishing resort from the 1930's. Small cabins with two bunkbeds and one small bed in a private room. Shared bath facilities in a separate building and a cool old boat house maintained by the Center for Wooden Boats. It was a really nice fall weekend with moments of glorious sunshine. We had tons of fun with our friends the Tofts.

2014 Leavenworth Half Marathon

Our annual fall trip to Leavenworth. Merrick's parents came up from Eugene to cheer him on in the Leavenworth 1/2 Marathon and spend some time with our family.  We stayed in Wenatchee due to booking and general mayhem in Leavenworth over this first weekend of Octoberfest.
