Coast Day Trip
Went to the coast, walked around Seaside, and went to Tillamook cheese factory, was rainy and nasty, so didn't do much else, and once again, no camera.

Coast Day Trip
Took a quick trip to the coast. Nothing fancy, just breakfast and the gem show in Seaside, and then up to Fort Stevens for a look around. Finally we headed to Tillamook and stopped for ice cream at the Tillamook cheese factory. It was a fun, yet uneventful trip. No pictures though, in a hurry to leave, I left the camera on the table.
