Day 3: April 22

I woke up at 8 am but I didn't want to get up so I gave Matt first turn in the shower. That tub is so deep I feel I could float in it. After we checked out, I took Matt back to the Antique Mall and rescued Barbie.  I can't believe it took me this long to finally get my own.

Leaving Wheeler at 11 am, we decided to go to Seaside for lunch and had a hard time finding a parking spot.  The tourist street was crawling with, well, tourists, so we found a spot on a side street.  We enjoyed a delicious seafood lunch and walked across the street to a donut shop that caught my eye (I know, diet).  Matt noticed a shaving kit in a leather shop next door so we went in to purchase that, along with a fake leather Betty Boop purse for the upcoming Austin trip. I saw a purse with a longhorn on it but thought that is the sort of thing you purchase in Texas.

 We stopped at Cannon Beach for more ocean. In the parking lot, there was an unusual site which caused us to long for the Caped Crusader.





We took a different route home, driving over the Astoria Bridge.  The view on the left is before we got on the bridge, and that on the right is at its highest point.

We drove 101 through Aberdeen, stopping north of Olympia for $1 sodas.  Since the view from Aberdeen to Olympia is trees, highway, more trees, no pictures were taken.  Matt commented that in Oregon, at least, there are small towns to break up the trees.  So, no more pictures until we got home at 5:53 pm.
