The northwest coast is really beautiful.

 Exploring Seaside.

Burning a little time to avoid the Friday afternoon rush hour traffic.

 Doing some window shopping.

 Really fun little courtyards of art and nick nak shops.

 We stopped off every so often to soak in the views.

 And take a few photos.

 Grandpa, mommy and the kids.

 Grandma was relaxing in the van.

 We must've come to our town.

 Every building seemed to be founded by a Wheeler.

 And a Wheeler Hotel.

Even a Wheeler train station.

 Really pretty views as we headed south along the coast to take the long way home.

 James took a little nap.

 Clara taking a little break too.

 We took a side road up the mountain side to get a better view.

 Would be fun if we had a boat to explorer the coastline.

 James back awake.

 And Clara in a funny mood.

 James loved wearing his sister's shoes.

 We made it to Uncle Chris and Aunt Julie's house in Spokane and got to meet Aunt Noel too.

 And cousin Austin, Noel's 6 month old son.

Hanging out with cousins, uncles and aunts.

 Grandpa taking a nap. Clara burning off energy.

 Getting a drink from mommy.

 Playing with cousins in the backyard.

 The grass was nice and soft.

And the weather was perfect.

 AND, there were ROCKS!!

Time to keep going. Heading to the ranch.
