Girls Long Beach Weekend

I promised Valerie her own trip since I took Riley to Portland.  We decided on Long Beach, WA. Having just picked a date that was good for us to go, the weather couldn't have been better and it happened to be the weekend of the Cranberrian Festival.  

A bit of background for those who aren't familiar with the area.  The Long Beach Peninsula is a 28-mile-long strip of sand and fun off the southwestern corner of Washington. Locals call it the "World's Longest Beach," though that is debatable.  The peninsula is between 2 and 5 miles wide and is pinned between Willapa Bay and the Pacific Ocean.  

We explored from the North Head Lighthouse at Cape Disappointment, to Oysterville at the top of the peninsula, and still only experienced a handful of everything there is to see and do.  Here are some scenes from our weekend:
