Cheese, Cheese and More Cheese

We hade da great stay in Florence, OR. It was really nice to see my brother, Charlie. It has been about 7 years since I've seen him. He hasn't changed much. He is still building things (houses and cabinets) and repairing things. We got to bar-b-que twice, went to his neighborhood bar and he came over for coffee the morning we left.
We then were going to go to Lincoln City for agaate hunting but decided to go on to Tillamook instead. We are at a cute little RV Park here in Bay City which is next to Tillamook.
Today we went to the cheese factory. Those of you that know me pretty well know that cheese is really my favorite food. So, this was a wonderful thing for me. Next we went to the Naval Air Museum. It is where they used to house blimps during WWII. The place is huge and now houses WWII fighter planes. David really loved it.
Next we went to the Blue Herron French Cheese Company. We got to do wine tasting and cheese tasting. Yummy!!! From there we picked up Molly and went to Oceanside Beach. When the tide goes out you can look for agates and Jasper. I don't know if we found any agates but I think I found some jasper.
When we got back to the RV, we bar-b-qued and cleaned up a bit. Now it is bed time.
Tomorrow we are going to Kent, WA. It is real close to Seattle. We have changed our mind about going to Canada. We've decided we want to go through Yellowstone instead. So after Kent we'll go to Spokane then to Butte, MT. We'll try to stay in a place called Livingston for about a week. It is close enough to the entrance to Yellowstone that we can take little day trips. Of course our main goal is Mount Rushmore, so it will be coming up soon.
So, goodnight to our friends and readers,
David and Carol
