We welcomed the month of May with a trip to Camano Island for Cece's first camping adventure! We stayed at Cama Beach State Park which is a very special place; it was new to us yet somehow familiar. The property includes original cabins that were built as part of a fishing camp in the 1930s. The camp was purchased by a private owner and run as a resort in the 1950s. In addition to the small cabins and bigger bungalows, the store, boat houses and family residence have also been restored to reflect how they looked back then. As we walked the grounds it hit us! This place is so Dirty Dancing!
" The summer of 1969 when everybody called me "Baby"... that was the summer we went to Kellermans."
Our cabin ... you know ... where the "dance people" stay.
"You looked wonderful out there."
"Look spaghetti arms, this is my dance space."
"It's not on the one, it's not the mambo, it's a feeling ... a heartbeat."
"God, I'm so sick of this rain. Remind me not to take my honeymoon at Niagara Falls!".
"I won't tell your mother about this. Right now, I'm going to bed.
And take that stuff off your face before your mother sees you."
"I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw, I'm scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you!"
And so, that is how we started the summer. Maybe we'll end the season with ... The Pachenga!
