July 28 - the Ocean

Extremely high temperatures forced us to reconsider not driving long distances this Summer (due to high gas prices), and on Sunday we headed to the coast.

First stop, Astoria. We found many art galleries and pubs, but not a "family" place to have late lunch. No easy access to the ocean and too much traffic. We piled back into our truck and drove to Seaside. Despite temperatures in 100's in Portland area, Seaside's didn't go above 60's. Little too chilly for me to take a swim, but kids didn't care and spent quite a while running in and out of the water, digging for treasures, and looking for crabs and shells.
All in all, a very nice day.
