Home Sweet Home

Fourteen hundred and seventy five miles later and the car rolled into the carport. Both daughter and I are happy to be here. I've got loads and loads of laundry. Many bags and various items that have been stuffed into my vehicle over the last 7 days had to be hauled into the house. Still unpacking a bit today. And of course the laundry machines be running.

The cats were, to say the least, pleased to see us. Even with the daily grandma visit they are very happy to have us home and have been following me like glue since we arrived.

The last few days of vacation seemed to drag a bit. We got to Tillamook with plenty of time and found some nifty sites while there. Beyond the cheese factory we visited the Air Museum. I am not a huge plane buff, but this museum is housed in an incredible old hanger that was built in the 1940's for blimps. The wood structure is beautiful all by itself. I did actually enjoy the incredible planes that were there as well. A very nice piece of history that was well worth our time and money.

We also got an opportunity to visit another cheese place the Blue Heron. This one had a small but fun petting zoo attached. My daughter had more opportunities to pet and feed some goats, calves, chickens, ponies and llamas. All in all a fun time was had.

Past Tillamook we headed to grandpa's place outside of Olympia, Washington off of Puget Sound. A splendid place to spend our last night away. And Saturday morning we visited his beach where we had the opportunity to take home way too many shells. We then arrived home where the unload fun began.

Today I've spent time doing chores and gathering stuff together for the work week that lies ahead. That's it for vacation for me this summer but after many miles and as many photos all is well. So now back to your updates, enjoy 'em!
