6/29/17 - Day 19 - Home!

On our last morning we all slept in until 9!  We woke up to comfortable temperatures and the sun  actually came out in Gray's Harbor!

We have been a really great team over the last few weeks!  We are ready to see our kitties, sleep in our own beds and not use public restrooms.  
 
We packed up and left Grayland State Park by 10:30, and headed home.

Then, since we were traveling at a more leisurely pace, we had time to go to the nearby botanical gardens and stop and smell the roses.   The kids had a rousing game of hide-from-their-parents.  Can you spot the kid?   Caught the blue blur trying to get away.   Then I made them pose for a picture.     The gardens used to be property of the Simpson family (not Marge and Homer), and there was one rem...
