One Year on the Road

We got Site 24 with built-in decking.

And a large grassy yard.

What a great spot to hang out in.

Kate loving her cat.

&quot;Don&#039;t even think about sitting here.&quot;

Beautiful blooms.

After dinner, we drove to nearby Cannon Beach.

Gull and dragon.

Creature in an art gallery.

A woman ponders.

Meditating elders.

The beach was so foggy.

Haystack Rock.

Little castles, big rock.

Walking barefoot.

Tidepools.

Checking out anenomes.

Pink...

...and green.

The next day we drove to Astoria.

Wonder if the beds are still wonderful.

Old theatre with an intricately carved facade.

Glass squares in the sidewalk.

Fun trash cans.

Interesting chess set in a gallery.

Rainbox French bulldogs for upcoming Pride Week.

The Flavel House Museum.

It was built by Captain Flavel in 1886.

He was a bar pilot on the Columbia River and prominent businessman.

World&#039;s first blender.

Beautiful tin tub.

Early flush commode on the left.

We stopped at Sunset Beach on the way back.

Bailey got to run free.

Ready to play fetch.

Go, Bailey!

Digging is next best.

Proud girl.

Back at Bessie for a while.

The weather was warming up.

Poppies by the deck.

After dinner, we took the kids for a drive.

Gypsy adapts to the car&#039;s smaller dash.

She loves going for rides.

We went back to Sunset Beach for sunset.

So cool to be able to drive right on the beach.

Family of clam diggers.

It was too windy for Gypsy&#039;s tastes.

But Bailey was right at home.

&quot;Dude! Watch it!&quot;

&quot;It&#039;s my hole now.&quot;

Kate joins in a game of fetch.

Poor Gypsy just wasn&#039;t really enjoying herself.

But she doesn&#039;t like to be left out.

One last romp.

Swallowed by clouds.

We drove back through downstown Seaside.

Seaside lights.

We went back the next day.

We had fish and chips on the promenade.

We used our car&#039;s built-in card table.

Statue of Lewis and Clark.

And their dog.

Also the end of our trail.

Lots of people on the beach.

And driving pedal cars.

The promenade goes for several miles.

We rode bikes all the way up and down.

Lewis and Clark salt mill.

Beach house.

Fun colors on a gray house.

There are swing sets up and down the beach.

Never too old for swinging.

Swings and surf.

My turn.

Feet in the air.

Just having fun.

Wild sky.

And birds started going crazy.

But it didn&#039;t rain till we got back to Bessie.

After the rain, a walk to the campground dog park.

It was a pet island, actually.

The kids had it to themselves.

Gypsy stayed on her leash, though.

Gypsy loves a good tree.

&quot;Why does she always do this?&quot;

Gypsy&#039;s happy to be out with us.
