Girls' Retreat at Fort Columbia

Hello! After not posting anything in forever, I'm going to try to catch up by posting pictures from my adventures so far this year. The first one is actually from back in March! That's when we went on our second annual girls' retreat with some of our friends. This year we stayed at a vacation house on Fort Columbia, a historical military post at the mouth of the Columbia River.

We stayed at Scarborough House, which was the old fort hospital. The place was enormous!!

The living room. Look at those ceilings!

One of the two  giant bathrooms. This picture doesn't do justice to how big it was! 

The hallway especially felt like a hospital. Those are bathrooms to the right, bedrooms to the left, dining room at the end.

It was fun having a dining room that could fit all of us!

Fort Columbia is close to Cape Disappointment State Park, so we went down there to walk the winter beach.


All the girls!

Mini rivers in the sand.

This is the battery at Cape Disappointment (I don't remember its name!). There are several in the area, with another of them at Fort Columbia.

Looking out the window of our house, down the hill to the mouth of the Columbia River.


The morning we left we took a walk around the bunkers/battery right there at Fort Columbia. They would be fun to explore more!




Old fort buildings.

The front of Scarborough House (where we stayed).

So there's the first adventure. Next up is a mini adventure to a nearby waterfall!
