Tomorrow is Jaxton day!

We said goodbye to Lincoln City, OR and starting making our way north along Hiway 101. First stop was the Tillamook Cheese Factory. Pictures weren't great because of the glass, but it was most interesting to watch them make cheese. They're also famous for their icecream, so what you're seeing is their sampler bowl of 3 flavors - Tillamook Mudslide, Marionberry Pie and Mountain Huckleberry & just so you know, all were excellent! As we continued north, the next stop was Cannon Beach. We walked on the beach and made it almost to Haystack rock - their famous landmark. They have a street full of quaint shops, so I had a quick 15 minute look. Seaside was the next stop on the tour - although I should say it was a moving tour, as we didn't get out of the car here. The long promenade dividing the beach from the town looked inviting though. Then we stopped at Astoria's Columbia River Museum - that was definitely worth it! Fascinating stuff on the boats and the coast guard - their training spot in the US because of the difficult conditions that exist at the mouth of the Columbia - they make 300-400 rescues/year! We said good bye to Oregon, but I hope we can go back some day.

We're now in Everett, WA - just north of Seattle. Tomorrow is Jaxton day!!
