Couldn't decide between the beach or Tacoma. So we headed to the coast and drove up it to Westport. Kids loved the ocean and the sand. We saw a lighthouse. Tried to explain what it was to Audrie, but I'm not sure she grasped it yet. Then we drove through Aberdeen heading towards Tacoma. Haven't been there since I was a kid.
It was kind of strange passing by Stafford Creek prison. Never been to that one, but the familiar signs were posted. No picking up of hitchhikers. Funny how every trip north has reminders even when we go a totally different way.
We got to Tacoma around 4pm and checked into our hotel. Stayed at the Red Lion and the bed was wonderful. Spent the evening with Nathan, Stacy and Collin. They treated us to pizza. I believe we had pizza last time we were there also. The kids mostly behaved and we had a good time.
It was a great trip. I love just getting away without any specific plan. Good for my soul and recharging.
