Tokeland Washington ... ever heard of it? Neither had we. Steve had some business in Chehalis and we wanted to stop by some friends that live in Pe Ell and since it's a considerable drive, we decided to make the trip into a spontaneous date. Lee and his wife recommended that we stay at a quaint little inn at Tokeland, a little jut of land that reaches into the Willapa Bay on the coast. Apparently it's quite the Audubon favorite for recommending bird watchers. Not the inn, but the marina at the end of the spit. As far as the inn is concerned, we found it quite charming. It's more like an old country house converted into an inn/bed-n-breakfast. There's no cable, no wi-fi, no tv, pretty much a bedroom. European style shared bathrooms at both ends of the house, and a fabulous restaurant downstairs. Wonderfully peaceful and quiet. Oh, and that flock of birds are called marbled godwits ... I looked it up.
