I know this is a little out of order but this is dedicated to Parker - "Holey Moley"
Day 98 - June 22, 2008


This morning we finally got a strong wifi signal so we spent some time updating the blog. Then we started our touring with Seaside, Oregon. This is Oregon's oldest and largest ocean resort. This was a neat beach town and almost reminded us of Daytona Beach. They had a main street called Broadway and it had all sorts of things - t-shirt stores, bumper cars, popcorn and all sorts of other assorted beach shops. This was also the end of the trail for the Lewis and Clark Discovery Expedition. Frank is currently reading the Stephen Ambrose book "Undaunted Courage" which expertly tells the story of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Therefore, any Lewis and Clark place has a real importance. Next we drove up the coast to Astoria, Oregon and guess what - had another great seafood lunch. Then we stopped at Fort Clatsop National Monument where Lewis and Clark spent their winter in 1805.

Tomorrow we will head to Washington and it is with great sadness that we will be leaving Oregon. I cannot say enough what a fabulous state this is. I hope all of you get to see this state in your life times. Granted it has taken us 60+ years to see it but it is well worth it.
