The sun rose on another day in the pacific Northwest.
Or, as is often the case the darkness became a lighter gray signaling it was daytime.
Either way, our guests, the Gauls, described their approach to vacations as a "time to assault the location." The assault was scheduled after we had a leisurely breakfast, the target was Rosario Beach.

Rosario Beach is a State Park with rocky headlands and of interest to us and most everyone that visits, are the tidepools and the chance to see some amazing marine creatures.We walked down to the shoreline and crept over the barnacle-covered rocks at low tide. Peering into the tidepools, watching several species of crabs, identifying some mollusk denizens of the pools and getting a chance to see seastars and sea anemones tucked in the crooks and crannies of this storm-worn piece of shore rock. So cool.

Leaving the tidepool area, we strolled up the path to the headlands atop the sea cliffs bordering Deception Pass, separating us from Whidbey Island.
The sky was gray, the water pewter, the air was cool. No matter the weather, I always find the Rosario Headlands to be scenic.

Not only did we enjoy beautiful sights, delicious food and special time with family I learned a lot too! Tide pool biology, elementary geology, Pacific NW history and more.
