Activites
Ideas
- "For outdoor activities, there is hiking, sailing, sea/lake kayaking. The ones I haven't tried yet that I'd love to do are: sailing, kayak tour of Sucia (these require reservation, which I'm happy to do). kayaking in Mountain Lake. Also, activities that I have done several times and enjoy doing again, hike to Mt Constitution, Cascade Lake (swim/kayak), Turtle Back Mountain Hike, Obstruction Pass park, etc."

- "a potential fun activity with kids is minigolf, we haven't been but we've heard good things"
