Sunday morning we grabbed breakfast at Ten Ton Coffee next to our hotel and then hit the road for the 275 mile drive to Seattle to have a short but lovely lunch visit with our friend Nina. From Seattle, we headed to Olympia, WA where we jumped on Highway 101 to drive along the coast to Seaside, OR, another 200 miles. We spent four days in Seaside and really enjoyed our visit. Meg went for morning jogs and walks along the beach while Matt worked. In the evenings we walked along the Promenade to the main street to check out the local establishments, and on Wednesday night we visited Astoria, OR which was about 25 minutes North of Seaside, on the Columbia River very near where it empties in to the Pacific.
