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!!!
Black Friday this year turned out to be a very enlightening and joyous day for sister Karen and I. We took off and went to the Carter Center (Presidential Library) in Atlanta. Jimmy Carter has taken a lot of bad press for his presidentcy but this guy is a tough one to beat when it comes to being honest and a wonderful humanitarian. Spent hours in this museum and am sure we did not see it all although we tried including his Nobel Peace Prize! What an honor to one who so deserves it! The grounds are worth seeing just by themselves.. lovely and a perfect place for a picnic lunch.. Loved this little donkey on his replica of the Oval Office and the carved desk. Pretty nice. Had a great time there and recommend highly. We think it's bad now but boy this man had some really tough times during his administration too. Fun to see the history timeline and remember back on all the news from the 1970's. ha! Goodness.. 1st test tube baby and Iran terrorists..
One thing I enjoyed was a day in the life of the President displayed in this round room with monitors following the events and time of day. Different and fun.
