Cannon Beach, Oregon
I am a little late in posting our Oregon and Washington trip update….we got back several weeks ago and haven’t found the time to organize the photos and recollections. This time around, I organized the photos but I let 12-year-old Reagen M. write the details. She was supposed to write about the entire trip but she only managed to make it through two days and then gave up. So, without further ado, here are Reagen’s recollections of the first two days of the trip (with a few corrections from me):
“The first day we were there, we stayed at David’s sister’s house and really didn’t do much because we were tired from the flight and getting up so early. On Saturday, we woke up and I played tennis at the Seattle Tennis Club at 9:00 AM. It was a hassle because the tennis club had an all white attire dress code–or at least 2/3 white. We were running around Friday night trying to find a white shirt and shorts. We didn’t find anything and figured that we would just go to the pro shop and find something even though it was likely to be expensive. We found out at the club that it only had to be 2/3 white and that my tennis dress from Athleta was fine.
After tennis, we went on a ferry to Vashon Island. It was raining so we went inside a restaurant that was known for its biscuits. Of course we all got a biscuit and they were very good. Afterwards, we went into a couple of stores and then left. On Sunday we ate breakfast at Kelly’s in Gig Harbor and drove to the Black Ball Ferry Line in Port Angeles. We didn’t plan to take the car on the ferry because our hotel was right across from the ferry terminal and everything was in walking distance. The ferry was going to Victoria, Vancouver Island in Canada. We got there and the hotel was really nice. They had a lap swimming pool and the room was very nice and modern.
We woke up the next day and walked down to a breakfast place that David said got very good reviews. It was called Cora’s and he got really mad because when we were almost there, a bunch of old people got off a tour bus and went right in front of us. The food was fair but the drinks were good. After breakfast we got back on the ferry and talked to an old guy.”
Well, there are the first two days as scribed by Reagen….scintillating stuff, right? Hopefully she gets around to documenting the last 5 or 6 days of the trip.
Until then, I leave you with photos of our 8 day adventure:
