| Krusteaz on the griddle |
Vashon Island is only a few minutes by ferry from Seattle, and has plenty of rural charm. We camped on the grounds of the Vashon Youth Hostel, an old-West-themed operation with teepees, a saloon, and a giant barn for lounging about, playing foosball, and escaping inclement weather. This was Yuken’s first time camping and he seemed to enjoy it…the bright colors of the tent, the texture of grass, and all the excitement of camping with 8 or 10 other families with small children. Once again we had great weather, though even with sunshine the kids spent a considerable amount of time playing pool and foosball indoors. Oh well.

The hostel provides a kitchen and cooking supplies, firewood, and other amenities, which made it easy to pack for. Following traditions of other youth hostels, they also provide free pancakes for breakfast…make them yourself, of course. The brand of choice on Vashon is Krusteaz, served out of a 5-gallon bag. As expected, Krusteaz tasted like instant pancakes. Unfortunately, this time around we did not have all of the delicious and unhealthy side dishes, but there was plenty of syrup, which sort of made up for it.
