Washington – Long Beach Peninsula
Washington
Long Beach Peninsula
September 20 – 24, 2009
While our motorhome was in the shop, our friends Roxie and Rus loaned us their place at the beach. We drove over to Long Beach, Washington. While there, we met Vernamae, Carla, Mike, Eldon, and Karen at McDonald’s for breakfast. Later we had dinner at Vernamae, Carla and Mike’s house. It was sure nice seeing everybody.
We also drove across the mouth of the Columbia to Astoria, Oregon to visit K.C.’s son, Joe. Joe, his wife Tamara, and their son, Atreyu recently bought a big, ole, historical house in Astoria. We toured the house and had a good visit with Joe and Atreyu. Unfortunately, Tamara had to work and couldn’t break away while we were there.
On the way home from Astoria, we had lunch at a riverfront restaurant. Several ocean liners powered right past our window.

The weather while we were there was warm – even hot. This doesn’t often happen on the Washington coast! We took advantage of the weather and spent an afternoon at the beach. Bob almost got his toes in the water when a wave creeped up the beach to where we were sitting. Here’s K.C. wading in the Pacific.

On Thursday, we got word that our motorhome was finished so we headed on back to pick it up. Many thanks to Roxie and Russ for letting us use their beach place!
