And…..we are off!

Our cross country U.S. tour begins

We officially began our southern US road trip yesterday, heading west towards Astoria, Oregon from Olympia, and then continuing south on US 101, enjoying the familiar Oregon coast. We covered familiar and sentimental territory this first day – passing by the Blue Buoy where Pam and her friend would always stop for salmon jerky and crab on their frequent visits from Portland to Canon Beach, driving through Canon Beach and Haystack rock, recalling our visit there with the Jenn and Michael and the grandkids two summers ago, into Tillamook where no trip is complete without a trek into the Tillamook Creamery for ice cream and squeaky cheese – so we didn’t make a lot of stops or take pictures. We did, however, make time to stop by a Tillamook sports bar to watch the Seahawks squeak out a (literal) last minute victory (speaking of squeaky) over the Arizona Cardinals.
