We finally had a warm, dry, non windy day! Too bad it was a workday. We decided to take advantage of appears to be rare weather and take a nice long evening walk. We walked down to a part of the beach we hadn’t been to yet. On the way we saw this monument and grave for sailors. This part…
A view of the Necanicum River while on a bike ride around the town. We have the beach a block away in one direction and this river one block away in the other direction. Enjoying a sunset here in Seaside. We haven’t gotten to see very many because most of the evenings have been very cloudy.
Today we visited Fort Stevens State Park and explored a little bit. At the tip of the park we were able to see where the Pacific Ocean and the Columbia River meet. At another part of the park, we saw the remnants of a ship wreck that washed ashore. While checking out the ship, Scott spotted some whales! They were…
We have been here for a little less than a week, and we have managed to see a few cool things. Not all of them have been in Seaside. The weather hasn’t been the best, but we’ve tried to make the most of it. We have tried a few places to eat. A mexican restaurant that we will never return…

Scott got out to pump, and to his surprise it was a full service station. Didn’t even know those places still existed. We filled…

Amazingly, most vehicles didn’t go much faster than that. While making our way out of Wyoming, we spotted lots and lots of antelope along the side of the…
We left Lexington with a goal of making it to Laramie, Wyoming. On the way, we decided to take a scenic route a little different than what Google suggested. We drove around Lake McConaughy and across the dam. It was beautiful! We left the lake and headed to Scotts Bluff National Monument. Besides being windy, it was a beautiful day…
Here are a few pictures from our dash cam on the way to Illinois. We drove through snow in every state on the way.
