We drove down to visit Diane's parents as they workcamped at Cape Mears Lighthouse on June 18th. We wanted to come late in their workday so we stopped and had lunch at the teriyaki place at the outlet mall in Seaside on the way down.
We stopped at the Tillamook Cheese Factory on the way down and the place was crowded.
