The ease of typing in blogspot and falling in love with WA state parks

I love Blogger platform. The ease with which I just picked up and started writing is....precious. The newer platforms like WIX and the (now) glamorous WordPress just intimidate me. 

This post is a stream of consciousness. 

I turned 43 last month. As part of the celebrating that superb milestone, I booked a glamping weekend with really good kayaking opportunities here in South Puget Sound.  I was looking for blogs that had a details about the place I am going to and I found a lot of valuable information. 

Here is my way of giving some of it back. 

We booked cabin named Whispering Firs in Ike Kinswa State Park. Even though the weather was not cooperating, we had a lot of fun. The showers were nearby and clean. We saw the park staff clean all restrooms more than 3 times a day. That is some attention to hygiene. Highly recommend. 

The cabin fit our family of 3 comfortably. There are 2 rooms. Living room and a bedroom. Living room has a futon and a table that seats 4; the bedroom has a bunk bed that can sleep 3. Both the rooms have heaters and you can prop open the windows for airflow. 

The cabins share their own set of restrooms and showers and you need a shower tokens to operate the hot water faucet. There is a campfire ring outside the cabin. 


Some photos.
