Christopher always ready for the ride pretends to be the navigator. His blanket seconds as a map. |

We were quickly off and running again through the forest. |
We soon see a die-hard surfer giving it a go in 60 degree water. |
Just as quickly we're back inland and going through the trees on the way to Neah Bay. |
The MaKan Nation is at Neah Bay. We were expecting more of the same we'd been through, butttttt... |
... it looks like they've cleared all of the large trees. |
It's industrial / fishing. It makes me wonder if the loggers paid a lot of money to clear their land. |
When we would come across another area of clear-cut, Christopher would say "ewww it's dirtyyyyy". |
Papi is back in the drivers seat |
Christopher got to see another train. I'm glad this one stood still for him. |

This is a good sample of the natural beauty we saw throughout the trip. |
Here, we stopped at a turn-out to just enjoy the views. |
Daddy and Christopher are being silly and laughing. |
Papi and Christopher wave to the camera. |
A family shot to test out the self-portrait feature of the camera. |
One of the many Tsunami Hazzard signs we encountered. I wonder when these actually went up? |
When I was backing in to the space at a state park, I noticed that the backup-camera displayed a really cool picture so I took one of it. |
Here's the kind of stuff we were seeing in the park. |
Christopher wanted to go back to the coach before our walk was over. Papi's parenting skills were being tested. We opted for redirection and it worked. |
Here's the view of the beach from the camp. |
Christopher liked the sand until he realized he was "dirty". "Ewww, yuck". |
The ocean has washed out the
soil from below this huge tree. Greg is holding it up with one finger ...
and some fairy dust |
We came across a sand castle someone had made. |
These are logs that have washed up on shore. Tiny eh? |
And the sunsets were amazing. ... going |
Wow ! This was a beautiful sunset I had to take it from a few different place in the park |
... going |
... gone. |
The next morning we were back on the beach. |
We had to get in our studies so we practiced our numbers and letters. D-18. Hmmmm, sounds like bingo. |
Christopher, aka the ham, was presenting the coach. |
And now he's reliving another Washington trip where he got a photo in the window. |
When we left that park, we found some highway gardening gone a little sloppy. |
We ended up stopping in at Ocean Shores. Have you seen the infomercials on this place? |
They had a few people riding horses around too. |
After leaving Ocean Shores, we found another of those rotating bridges to allow boats to pass. Kinda cool. |
This mural was on the side of a grocery store. Wow, I wish they'd do stuff like that here. |
Christoper did a great job at staying in his carseat until we got back to the Country Coach Factory to have a few things looked at. |
When we did finally get out and about, he was elated. |
While waiting for service to be completed we decided to catch up ALL of the laundry. |
Christopher gets to see another train. |
Buddy boy was caputkin at the end of this day. We spend the entire day walking around Junction City. |
Papi worked on the first week of photo's for a webpage. |
In the customer lounge people wait for their coaches to be fixed. Christopher met a lady with little dogs that she allowed him to pet. |
More trains?! Can you imagine. This trip ended up being about finding trains and train tracks. We have to get him another engine for his train at home. |
Here's one that stayed still so he could study it for a long time. |
He and Daddy pose for a photo. |
Here we found a caboose they had turned into a hair salon. |
What would a long day be without stopping at Dairy Queen for ice cream? |
Fire hydrants are great for climbing. |
Another doggie at the lounge because it's raining today. |
Christopher sitting in the front window watching the trains go by. |
The end of a very long day for a tired little boy. Naptime is great. |
After a little more play we have dinner and baths ... just like home. |
And hugs before saying goodnight. |
