Ocean Shores, Day 3

Today Barbie went out to the beach and drove along the sand.

It was still very windy and cold, which it usually is on Washington's beaches during the winter months. The winds were about 35 miles an hour, which made it hard to drive.

Barbie drove for a long time, she even drove past a dead seal, which was rather upsetting. But she enjoyed the rest of the drive. She drove way down the beach watching the seagulls and pelicans fly in the surf. Then she got out of her jeep and walked on the sand.

She was going to go in the water but it was awfully cold and wet and windy. The waves were pretty high and she didn't want to get washed away.

Besides, the wind was messing up her hair.

Barbie was very cold so she went back to the hotel to warm up by the fireplace. But it was so warm she almost melted, so she found other ways to entertain herself around the hotel.

The Shilo Inn was very nicely decorated. It had beautiful sculptures and lots of things to do.

First Barbie pretended she was riding on a whale, then played with dolphins, and last, went swimming with mermaids.

Finally it was time to go home. Barbie left the hotel and the beach feeling well-rested, relaxed and ready for her next adventure!!
