Once the tent was down we ate breakfast in the car to avoid the mosquitoes. Then we were off to my brother Rod's house. Along the way we stopped for a quick beach walk to look for sand dollars. No luck but I love being on the beach.

Once we got to Rod's we had a tour of his cute house and impressive gardens. Then we headed into Astoria to wander around and check out the Fort George Brewery for lunch.

We also got a tour of the new Northwest Food Web offices. What a nice facility that is going to be. Rod does volunteer work for them. (Sorry no pics of it.) A highlight of the day was getting to see Rod's art work on display. The opening was a couple of weeks ago, I was glad it was still up for us to see.

Then we wandered along the dock and headed out of town just a bit for a cup of coffee at Coffee Girl and sat by the river to enjoy it.

Next up was a walk on the beach and this time Kira got a sand dollar, thanks to a stranger. We saw quite a few para--sailers in the distance, it was a very windy day for them.
         
After dinner and a stop at Bouy Brewery it was time to head back to Rod's. While watering his garden he picked a snail off the garlic. I pulled out the macro lens to get some pictures of it. We ended the day witht Rod's delicious rhubarb apple pie, I should have taken a picture of that beauty!
     It was a great day! |
