Washington State, Day 7

We are in Washington, on a peninsula on the west coast.  We don't have cell phone service and we don't have our Jeep internet.  So we bought some for the night thru World Mark, our condo owner.  Anyway, we are well, interested, learning, and pooped!  Who ever knew that driving and riding would wear a person out?

Tomorrow night, we found out about an hour ago, that our resort is on an island and we will have to take a ferry.  For goodness sakes, it was a good thing we got around and was digging out information.  What if we had gotten there tomorrow after the last ferry of the day?  We'd been out the money for that condo and we'd have been sleeping in the Jeep.

By the way, I came prepared to sleep in the back of the Jeep if need be.  I've been telling Himself that we might have to, before we get back home.

Anyway, photos from today!

 
We met Doug for lunch and would loved to have met Chris too but that wasn't to be.  We had a good visit.  Mary Pat wasn't able to come as she was having to drive son Mike to some friend get together.

 
I love the Oregon and Washington coasts. 


 
This is the lovely bridge over the Columbia River at Astoria.  It is so very high above the water. 

 
This is another view of the bridge.  In addition to being high, it is also very long.
But not as long as the Chesapeake Bay Tunnel Bridge
 that we took our children through, way back when. 
 
 
 
I have so many more photographs but it is late, I'm tired and I'm still learning windows 8.1 on this laptop.  I have not figured out how to transfer photos so I am copying them one at a time.
