Last of the beach

We parted ways w/ the Olsons in the afternoon so that we could all do our own thing. We drove down the coast (it was beautiful everywhere but Seaside, where we'd been!) and did a few stops in fun places we'd remembered. We browsed some shops in Seaside and bought her a hat. We let her nap in the car while we pulled over to scenic lookout points & took more pictures. We visited the pier where we'd first laid eyes on Newfoundlands (the dogs we adore) but the pier was closed for renovations! So no Newfies to show Carrie =( Sad! There was a couple from Idaho(?) crabbing, so she got to see some live crabs close up. Then we went along the coast some more to Tillamook to check out the cheese prices & have some ice cream. For any price-conscious shopper, Tillamook cheese baby loaves are cheaper at WinCo than they are at the factory ;) As we drove back to Hillsboro via the twisty coastal route, Carrie did super! She waited to throw up until we were about 15 minutes from the house, on a completely flat stretch. Kids! We think it was her milkshake topped off by her berry juice in the car =/ So we got to hose her off and wash everything when we made it back to the Olsons'. *sigh* Such a great trip, so not a great ending! Haha. Enjoy the pictures!
