Day 27 Aberdeen WA

"There is nothing like the feel of walking on sand..."  - me, today

We had a wonderful stay at Rock Away Beach Oregon.  We were in a motel right on the beach, thanks for the tip Howard!  We walked the beach last night and watched an awesome sunset and then again walked the beach this morning / today for a good bit.  Beachcombing, running, splashing, laughing...it was one of those moments...you know?

Left the beach around 2pm and drove north, over the bridge in Astoria to Washington.  Stopped for Oysters in the Oyster Capital of the World ~ South Bend, OR...we tried 'em but I think we all bout puked...ha!!  I guess it's an acquired taste?  Thanks for the tip anyway Charlie...

We are now hunkered down in a nice hotel in Aberdeen, WA.  All the amenities including pool, spa, excercise room, laundry(what I'm doing...with shampoo no less:), and continental breakfast in the morning.  Nice place!

Tomorrow we head further north to Olympic National Park - Quinault Rainforest Trail, Sol Duc Hotsprings, Forks (ie Twilight Fame), Neah Bay...last full day on the road before we fly back  Monday:(

Mom and Dad made it back to Indiana Friday afternoon and sounded happy to be home.  Dad said he was ready to relax in his recliner after driving 5,000+ miles, I guess you can't argue with that!!
