A long drive

Today we went out to the coast. We headed up past Portland, into Washington briefly,then back into Oregon near the mouth of the Columbia River. After a quick stop at McDonald's, we ended up at Seaside, a cute little town right on the ocean.









Apparently, this little town enjoys their twinkies and bacon (among other things) - covered in chocolate, or deep fried next door!





Geoff spotted this lovely car in a parking garage - we're pretty sure it's blue under all that dirt!






We had actually spotted these recumbent bikes earlier in out travels, but were not able to whip out the camera quickly enough, so I was happy to see this one again!



These bike carts were a big hit as well. Made for 2 to 6 peddlers, you can still fit a child in the front basket!




After Seaside, we got back in the car (the giganto-car) to head down the coast to Cannon Beach.



I was amused to find that this hotel was a "Historic New England-Style Hotel" about as far west as you can get - far from New England!



Tolovana Beach was a great place to go for some good picture of the giant rocks on the beach.






For a scale on these rocks, notice the people on the right side of the picture, still quite a distance from the rocks!



There was a group doing wedding pictures on the beach as well!
