Day 106: Harris Creek State Park, OR Sunny and mild. So this morning when I woke up at 7 AM, Tom had already been awake since 5:30, but was still lying in bed trying to get more sleep, to no avail. I reminded him that we were going to go walk the beach early in... Continue Reading →

Day 95: Peninsula Golf Course, Long Beach, WA Sunny and cold. Since we appear to be in a tourist area, we found ourselves a bakery! We found there a new (to us) baked good called schnitten.
