We made it!! We went to the Pacific Ocean today! Walked on 3 different beaches and went to several overlooks. The 1st beach was a typical sandy beach. I was fascinated by the rocks covered with barnacles and shells. We found lots of small, pretty rocks. The 2nd beach was covered with large trees that had washed up. We were taking pictures when I yelled at Bud that the trees on the island were moving. The island was covered in seals! We got some pretty good pictures of them. There were lots of people fishing for crabs. A very nice man and his daughter explained what they were doing and showed us their crabs. Have all that in pictures, too. The 3rd beach was Agate Beach and was all sand dunes. This fat, out of shape gal got wore out climbing those dunes.We found only a few small agates. It was windy and COLD all day!...... We drove quite a way on the famous Hwy. 101 and it was not at all like we expected. The road was a 2 lane country road with lots of traffic.........After dealing with all the traffic and not finding any vacancies we decided we will head inland with the RV tomorrow........My family and friends always tease me about taking pictures of all the crises that arise. Well Bud is just as bad. A wave came in really fast and I got soaked. I was scared I would drown and I yelled for him. He later told me he wondered if he had time to get a picture of me before he helped me!! ...........On our way back to RV tonight we stopped at a casino. We had $30 total when we went in and $29.19 when we came out. I had really good luck on the penny machines which was great 'cause Bud couldn't win anything.............Hope we can find a place to stay for several days and hope it has wi-fi. I want to get my pictures on here for all of you and want to just sit a day or two.
