Mom, Audrie and I went to Ocean Park for a few days. Mona graciously offered her cabin again. The weather was great while we were there. Not cold, not hot, not windy and not rainy. We took one of the days and headed south down to Cannon Beach. We poked around in all the shops. Met lots of dogs. Bought a really cool blue butterfly kite to hang on the ceiling of the room that will be Audrie's. Was enchanted by really spectacular artwork, even Audrie liked some of it. From there we hit the outlet mall at Seaside. We were not impressed. The prices were no better than what you get in any other store. We spent no money there. We spent a bit of time in Long Beach, but not much. I did find a couple books for Adrianna and Elizabeth. The coolest thing was seeing the raccoon family cross the road in Long Beach. Parents and four little ones. Wow.
We ventured home today with a stop in the bookstore in Ilwaco. It is called Time Enough Books. I love independent booksellers. Unfortunately the owner and her dog were on vacation. So we didn't get to play. But we did buy three more books for Nana's kid library. The best two are "Bats at the Library" and "I Need My Monster".
