And the view from the cliff.
The view from the cliff.
That's our beach house on the right.
You'd have no idea we were moments from falling to our deaths...
After getting settled in, we headed to Coupeville for dinner.
It was very scenic.
We found a neat little restaurant at the end of this pier.
Everyone had a seafood basket, except me. I had some chicken.
We kept watch for seals while we ate.
After dinner photo shoot.
We got ice cream at Kapaw's Iskreme, a historic parlor.
It was delicious!
We watched the sun set while we finished our cones.
We saw an otter just off to the left here.
Yum.
Back at the beach house, the sun dips away.

Something's funny.
Beer, cards and trail mix.

Trying not to get dragged away...
It was super windy.
Everyone laughing at my desperate screams.
Peach takes a turn.
Back at the beach house. Check out that HUGE cruise ship.
We saw seals splashing in the kelp below so we got the binocs and watched from the cliff.
That's a nasty drop.
Sup.
Drinking, Round 2
Behold, the mighty Beerymid.
We LOVE drinking!
Ew, that's just gross Kim.
Alcohol shouldn't freeze...clearly this rum is fake!
66 cans of beer on the wall...
