We woke to the sound of the ocean today. I (Josh) really love doing that! It was still raining so we had to pack everything wet. It sucked. We beach combed a little bit in the morning, I (Kathy) was really hoping to find a whole sand dollar. No luck, only smashed ones. Fortunately we will be on the coast for awhile. We started driving down the 101 today. We thought we would head down to the southern part of Washington and find the National Kite Museum and Hall of Fame.
Bad news for the Kite Museum. The place it was suppose to be was now condos. So it either moved or was defunct. Either way we couldn't find it. This is the second time we've had this discrepancy between the Atlas and truth. We were looking for "Historyland" (!!) in Wisconsin and, sadly, we think it was replaced by a Wal-Mart. Sick of the rain we decided that we would get the heck out of Washington. We crossed into Oregon and headed for Portland. I (Josh) had heard from a friend that Portland was a really cool place to hang out and that the night life was great. Unfortunately we were still wet and it was still raining. We also don't have a lot of extra cash for bar hopping Plus we have a car in constant tow, so only one of us would be able to truly partake in an awesome bar scene. So we headed out to find the high desert of central Oregon. (Sorry Cliff) We drove another 100 miles to Bend.
