This park is located about 20 miles south of Tillamook very close to the pacific ocean... lovely spot really and we have always enjoyed our visits to this park. For 1 thing they have wild bunnies and deer which adds a special flavor! Then they are right across the street from a very cool beach with tide pools... their very own 'haystack rock' which they like to boast about in town.. the park is on a hill and densly wooded which adds a bit of privacy... WHEN the weather is nice, it's a great place to have campfires... this year however our timing was off and we hit a very rainy, windy time! goodness the wind and rain pelted down on us and we stayed pretty much holed up inside..ha! Left today (the 29th) and had every thing hit us from rain, wind, hail, snow and finally sunshine! Lovely.. now at Long Beach, WA until Friday!!!
Friday morning we awoke to a perfectly picture perfect day and headed out to finally get to Teddy Roosevelt Island on the Potomac River. Beautiful day although a bit cool. We took subway and walked thru town and over the river and thru the woods. Very wooded and no visitor center so we trudged back to subway to go back into town. This is our 5th visit to the DC area and you know, we still could not get into see Ford's theater. always it has been under renovation or some such thing and this time it was just plain closed for the afternoon. Ok, but the gift shop was open and it was sad. I mean you know, what could be uplifting about the assisinationa of a President? It's sad, so off we trudged across town; clouds are building now, and over to the botanical gardens. That is the coolest place if you have never been. Of course, it helps to be appreciative of plans and flowers. Love that place and enjoyed all the variouis plants and unsual flowers especially the orchids but they are so colorful! By the time we leave here it is getting downright ugly outside and burrr cold. So home we went to beat the Friday night traffic. Home to listen to the threatening tales of the weatherman.
