Hood to Coast - Wayne & Kay's 2nd trip west

Wayne and Kay came to visit for a few days and so we added to their list of things they've seen in Oregon. We began with a MAX ride from the airport all the way to Hillsboro Airport/Fair Complex. Saturday 7/3 we went to Astoria, took the trolley tour, went to the jetty, ate pizza and then drove down to Seaside. Seaside was a zoo so we didn't get out of the car. Sunday 7/4 we went downtown to show them Powell's, Tiffany's, Pioneer Square (Mall), etc. Then we saw the Japanese Gardens and practically got shoved off the bus by a very angry TriMet driver who didn't appreciate that we wanted to ride his bus back to the zoo to catch the MAX instead of getting off at PGE Park to catch the MAX. Jerk. Monday we drove to Mt. Hood and toured Timberline Lodge after traipsing thru the snow to get there (on July 5th...really!)

Katie's Birthday

We went to Seaside to continue the tradition of always being on the beach for Katie's birthday since she moved to Oregon. (24th: Newport, 25th: Astoria, 26th: Seaside) We got ice cream and watched the sun set.
