Trip Video: Long Beach Peninsula

March 21, 2014

Weekend getaways combined with filming a trip video may be my new favorite way to spend a weekend. Even though a long drive can be rough after working all day on Friday - it's wondrous to wake up somewhere new and have an entire day to explore and create. Just a few weeks ago, we woke up in Long Beach, Washington with a full day to spend exploring the Peninsula. There was only one "problem," it was a rather stormy day.

Not ones to be dictated to by weather, the three of us (my husband, pup, and I) set out for a day of exploration dressed rain gear from head to toe. Highlights of our day on the Long Beach Peninsula included driving the entire legal length of the "Longest Beach in the World"*, bald eagle spotting up and down the coastline, and running around in some absolutely crazy winds near the jetty in Cape Disappointment State Park. I hope this video of our experience conveys that no-matter the weather, fun, even outdoor fun, can still be had even on the stormiest of days on the Long Beach Peninsula.

*While Long Beach claims this honor, the internet tells me that Cox's Bazaar in Bangladesh is actually longer.

Practical Tips:

A section of the beach, between the Bolstad Beach Approach south and the Seaview Beach Approach, 38th Pl. in Seaview, is closed to vehicles from April 15th through Labor Day. So if you want to drive the beach, make sure to time your visit accordingly. (Updated)

Long Beach is incredibly dog friendly. You'll see dogs running around and exploring off leash - however it's not strictly legal. If you bring your dog - use your best judgement and make sure your pooch is on his/her best behavior.

Bring your Discover Pass. You'll need it to explore both State Parks on the ends of the Peninsula.

After two years of eyeing the plants around the six acres of the @greenvillearms I finally got a chance to play with creating some dry arrangements! Who knew spray paint could be so much fun?!? (Lesson learned: gold spray paint is lame but gold sparkle spray is AMAZING!✨) If you’re in the area this weekend, you can come see them in person at our Winter Maker’s Market!

Starting to consider the concept of a day trip with the 👶 and asking for suggestions for two spots in Western MA in my stories.

In the mean time, here’s a shot from a day trip to Millerton last year when I was just barely pregnant 🤰. At the time this house was on the market (wouldn’t be surprised if it still was...). It’s  down a dirt road which parallels the Harlem Valley Rail Trail and I just find it fascinating.

Will that new hairless puppy ever stop crying face. #parsleyface
That thing when you’re not quite ready to commit to specialized tools just for making earring tags - so you make your own! 💪

BTW this pair of North Kingstown earrings is still available in the shop! 😉
