The weather was wonderful for kayaking. It was warm but not too hot and slightly overcast. The water was at low tide when we got to the dock. (By the way "low tide" doesn't really smell as bad as most people make it sound).
This was my first time really kayaking. I learned a lot of things such as: how to paddle correctly, how to look cute in a spray skirt (sorry didn't get any pictures of it), how to get unstuck from sand (since the water was so shallow in places) while remaining in the kayak, and most of all how fun kayaking is to do.
When we got on the beach we had dinner and enjoyed some time relaxing around the campfire.
What a cute couple!
We stayed and watched the sunset. Then we kayaked back in the dark. We had some headlamps that helped us see along the way.
My favorite part of the trip was when we kayaked around the edge of the man made island and Puget Sound came into view. It reminded me of the Lewis and Clark expedition when they finally reached the ocean. "Ocean in view!" I think I got the same feeling in a smaller way of what it was like to see the vast ocean expand before their gaze. Beautiful!
