Summertime Fun 2010 (Part 2)

...The highlights continue...

Day 4:
(July 5, 2010)

Off to the ocean for us today. We took a detour (missed the highway we needed) so added an hour to our trip. We stopped for directions and received three options to take; back tracking the way we came, 70+ miles out of the way (already about 40 out of the way), or heading along a different highway a couple miles ahead. We'll take curtain #3 please.

Saw beautiful landscapes along the way and sang along to John Denver songs. Amanda even tried feeding broccoli to a duck but the duck wasn't interested. Hmmmmm......

 

 

We arrived in Seaside, Oregon and the first thing on the agenda was lunch.

After our bellies were full we headed to the beach. Odd to have bare feet in the ocean with rolled up jeans and jackets on.

Then  we strolled the boardwalk and went in & out of the shops. We went into the Salt Water Taffy Outlet more than once. They have 170+ flavors of taffy so it took more than one look to decide which flavors to take home. We each spun the "Wheel of Fortune" to see if we'd win a prize. This trip I was the only winner in the group!

Next door to the taffy store was an ice cream store with $.75 cones! Amanda and I each had a double for only $1.25.

A fantastic vacation spot!  All three of us fell in love with Seaside and I suspect we'll be returning in the future, hope so anyway...
