Long Beach, WA


The really big fish, see I wasn't making it up. Just turn your computer, I'm not sure why it is this way because I fixed it in iphoto. Sorry:(


Today we left Seattle at about 10:30. We actually slept in and then got on the road. It was overcast and sprinkling just a little when we left. So we got very lucky to have such a wonderful sunny day yesterday in Seattle. It was perfect to get to see everything.

We drove down to Long Beach to see Scott and John. They are staying here for the weekend and we couldn't pass up the opportunity to see them when we were so close already.

Long Beach is a very quaint small town right on the ocean. We took a walk along the beach and watched Stevie play with a stick and then go lay in the ocean. It was very cute!

They took us on a drive to a couple of other little towns (Ilwaco and Sea View) along the coast and saw some really big fish that were caught. I really don't know what they were called but they were big. (Sounds like a fishing story but truly it isn't). Trust me. :)

This town is very cute and is adorable, I can see why they love to come down here to get away from the city.

Tomorrow I think that we are heading down the coast until we hit Tillamook. We want to take a tour of the cheese factory and we hear that they have really good ice cream as well.

  1. I hope you put your feet in the ocean. I'm pretty sure neither of you has been in the ocean that far north. Now I know that you two are getting spoiled. Three nights with actual beds and showers! Do you think that you're going to be able to rough it again? I have faith in you! Love you both, Mom/Nana

  2. I think that we will be fine. But it has been really nice to be out of the cold weather. Tomorrow we will be back in the tent for sure.

  3. You have to let me know how the cheese factory was. I can see myself REALLY liking Long Beach. No 15 inches if snow or -40 wind chill. The pictures are great. Love you both, Ally
