Hwy 101

Monday morning we started the long trek home. We could have cut over to I-5 and gotten home in about 5 hours but we took the scenic route up Hwy 101. It mainly winds along side the ocean and goes through all the little towns along the way. It was a pretty drive. We stopped in Tillmook and looked around the factory. The kids liked seeing all the cheese makers and we got to try out several different types of cheese. We also stopped in Seaside for a couple of hours. This town has so much to do! They have a salt water taffy store that has 170 different flavors. Yummy! Of course we loaded up on that before we got back on the road. We took the Hwy all the way up to Astoria and crossed the mouth of the Columbia River into Washington. Dylan loves bridges and was quite fascinated by how long this one was. It was almost 5 miles long! We finally made it home at about 8:15pm where Grammy had a welcome home cake waiting for them! So they gobbled that up and then went to bed (I know so healthy). It was a long weekend and a lot of driving in the last week but what a week it was!
