~Last Days~

On one of our last days in Oregon we visited Klootchy Creek County Park where we saw this HUGE 80 ft Sitka Spruce stump.  In years past it was said to be the oldest tree in Oregon being 200 ft tall and over 17 ft in diameter.  In 2007  hurricane winds knocked the beautiful tree over leaving just this big old stump!

Then off to see the Lewis and Clark Salt Works.   Just a small site, but interesting how they lived.
Then back to the "Taffy" shop where we all got a chance to spin the wheel to win a prize.  This was the second time we had tried this.  This time tho' - Scott spun and won a candy stick AND got to put his name on the "Wall of Fame" with all the other winners over the years!!
Then Grandma bought us all very yummy ice-cream cones!!!  Thanks!   There were 48 flavours to choose from!  We all had quite a time deciding!
Saying goodbye to Grandma and A.Cheryl after a fun week spent together.

Once again as we passed through Seattle it was rainy and dark.
But then........on to La Conner, WA where it was the tulip festival - look at those beautiful colours!!

We stayed at this lovely TT Park in La Conner which was right on the beach.

What a great spot to spend our last night!!

  1. Love the pictures of the tulips and the beach at LaConner TT - we used to live in Blaine just up by the border of Canada.
