DOPAMINE DAY; Ocean Park-WA


This morning, Holland got Independence's batteries switched out - he's been wanting to do that for some time, but was reluctant to spend the big $$$$ required: I'm glad he finally did it:

I'm glad Holland finally broke down and got the battery he's been talking about since we started this venture … the old was switched out this morning 💪👍

Afterwards, we drove to the recycling bins down the street and got rid of the cardboard - then, it was to the beach we went: my husband has to have his daily [ocean fix] 😁

Ocean Park Beach Access is maybe 5 minutes from where Independence is set up, in Ocean Park-WA

While there, we saw that huge dumpsters had been place at the upper end of the beach to collect last night's firework's:

We also saw that this end of the peninsula beach was packed with people, vehicles, kites, paragliders, seagulls & pelicans …

Very breezy & murky - a lot of sand kicked up by wind & tires; Ocean Park-WA

The beachfront is very busy, today.
Warm - but very windy; the bustled air resembled a mirage.

This kite looks like an over-sized Guppy.
That thing in the distance only showed up after this picture was snapped off - Holland thinks it's a boat in a wave trough …

So, the thing in the ocean distance - can't be seen with the naked eye (this picture was zoomed out to see the kids stretched out on the sand), but Holland says the "pillar-arch thing" probably belong to a fishing boat, or a trawler boat, that was down in a wave trough and crested just as I snapped the picture off. That makes sense … but it sure looks weird 😉

And my husband inadvertently messed up the 'picture-perfect-moment' 😟
All calm again - but I missed the paraglider landing 😕

I've never seen any part of this beach, this busy - ever: but Holland has, many times. Today's business is "not that busy" to his way of thinking; Ocean Park-WA

We spent at least 2 hours just sitting in Betsy watching all the various activities, before heading back home to relax and enjoy each other  👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 

Dopamine is a good thing 👌
