The weekend after Porteau Cove, Sophia and I went on another camping trip, this time, to Deception Pass in Washington. We went with our friends, the VanDops. Ed was on a boys' trip and didn't join us for the weekend. Instead of our mansion family-size tent, we brought our (pre-kid) 2-man tent which fit me and Sophia quite nicely. It was so nice to be able to pop-up the tent in less than 10 mins! This was our first time at Deception Pass and we all liked the campground a lot. Our site had enough room for the kids to run around and play. It was just a short walk to the beach, too. Yvette, Avery, Sophia, and I spent most of Saturday hanging out at the beach. We also attended a junior ranger info session where the ranger talked about the different mammals that lived in the area. The ranger also talked about camp safety and how we should not leave food out. Ironically, when we got back to our site afterward, we discovered that critters had come for a visit in our site and helped themselves to some of the Trader Joe popcorn that I had left out. Oops.
This was my first time going camping by myself with Sophia. It was actually quite manageable, now that Sophia is older and doesn't need constant attention. The only time it got super busy for me was when I packing up our stuff and getting ready to go. Sophia was really good about staying out of the way, though, and played on her own or with Avery.
All in all, it was a really good trip. I'd like very much to camp at Deception Pass again.
