Washington Coast, More family visitors, we're loving it!

Clamming morning........... Washington coast, so beautiful!

Limit, first time ever.

You tube tells how to clean and cook clams

Clams frying

The beach house.

Through the dunes to the house.

2nd day clamming  5 limits

Sunday lunch at Baked Alaska on the Columbia river

Sea lions are a problem, loud, stinky, eat salmon and keep people off their boats.
Getting a close look


Fresh crab

Flowers in the yard

Best fish and chips in town theres's always a line.  All the cooking is done on the boat.  When they run out of fish, they close the door and lunch is over!!  You can eat on tables under the trees (if it's not raining) or take it somewhere...no inside dining.

Busy between rain showers, Grandpa G has a helper.

Fun on the beach

Museum about shipwrecks in Astoria
Climbing the column in Astoria

I stayed at the bottom to take pictures....that's the ONLY reason!!

The view is fantastic!
