Well this doesn't suck for ten bucks a night, does it? Behind us: We passed this place without even looking, figuring we wanted to check out Kalaloch first, which we did. I kinda had a feeling we'd like this place better, and I was right. There were tons of spots…

We had no marshmallows, but we plan to change that tonight: Tugboat and barge with tiki torches: New solar hanging lamp from Ikea (thanks for the tip, Kathy Harderson!): Here's my mom earlier in the…
