Blaine Geocaching

 

Amelia participated in the 2010 Washington state math championship, in Blaine, Wa on the Canadian border.  During her testing, the rest of the family took the opportunity to do some geocaching in the area.  While we got a little wet in the drizzling rain, we enjoyed exploring this new area, bagging a few geocaches and also catching some of the views of the Strait of Georgia.
