Ross and Kelli took us, and the dogs, for a drive to the coast today. On the way we went past an aviation museum where the Spruce Goose is housed. They also have a water park attached which has an aircraft on top that the water slides go though. The drive through the pretty wine country, and then forest, took us to the town of Newport. At Newport we went down along the docks for a very good lunch of Halibut fish and chips.

After lunch we went to Agate Beach to look at a concrete dock that had washed up on the beach after its trip across the ocean from Japan. I think this is the first large object to come ashore in this area. It is amazing that it stayed afloat the whole way, and was as intact as it seemed.

We got back to their home about 6 and started a load of wash. Then we headed out for dinner at a food truck pod. This is an area where several food trucks are set up in a former parking lot and have tables set up outside also. You find a wide selection of different ethnic foods to choose from and the food is very good. We each found something different. Portland has several of these “food pods” in various areas of the city and they have been praised in various magazines as a good choice for eating out. We headed back to the house to finish the wash and visit before leaving for the night.
