Road Trippin - The Pacific Coast

We started our coastal trip today down Route 105

We drove through many coastal villages, one of which was Aberdeen - none other than the hometown of Kurt Cobain. We came as we were, but were still unimpressed. I totally get how Kurt could not handle fame well after having lived there. It was very industrial and non-happening. Think Coraopolis.

Then we headed to Westport. It was also relatively quiet and non-happening, but I still found the harbor rather adorable. Plus we rock climbed.

Next stop was the biggest oyster captial of the "world" - Raymond on the Willapa and South Bend.

We are not sure about Oyster Capital, but we are sure to appreciate the industrial backdrop to raw beauty juxtapositon.

I then taught Yahtzee all about the fact that I can "bring home the bacon all fried up in a pan" - the largest ever in Long Beach, Washington. Is now a good time to mention that there was a BAKON bacon infused vodka on the shelf here...and i think it sounds kinda sounds good, or ?

He was not impressed at my bacon bring on...

But deffo more excited that he could drive the car on the beach, and a beautiful beach it is.

After we drove to Cape Disappointment which failed to disappoint, and here is why -

(prayers never hurt either)

Finally, we are in Astoria, so have a new village to visit tomorrow.

We travelled over an amazing bridge to get here

And we are staying at the Cannery Pier Hotel which is a nice treat, including spa and jacuzzi

Sweet dreams and good night.
