Just before school started we went with Talitha to hike the Dungeness Spit. It's over five miles long and the United States longest sand spit. It is even one of the longest in the world. That's over ten miles we hiked on the sand.
The hike starts at the parking lot as you head down to the beach.
It was basically lots of walking on the sand.
I'm surprised any of my big kids wanted to go, but Leon and Scarlett surprised me. Calista and Beatrix wanted to go but I wouldn't let them. They complain on much much shorter hikes. There is a lighthouse at the end that you can go up.
This next picture is a view of the spit going from the lighthouse heading back.
We stopped for lunch and a bathroom break and then headed back.
I was originally planning on getting in the water at the end, but it wasn't really hot enough for that. The weather was pretty good. I was worried we would be sun burned and really hot, but we weren't at all. Leon did start to feel sick about halfway back but he was able to feel better after a few minute break.
It took the entire day, but we had fun and I'm glad we went.
