This morning we headed north from Seaview across the street to the west-and drove out to the seacoast access a few blocks away. People were clamming at low tide, there was some wind blowing in off the ocean, and the beach yawned for miles in either direction. We found the international kite museum nearby and spent some time enjoying the kites from all over the world, and military ones as well. My favorites were the bird kites...there is a big festival in August each year on the beach. We pulled through Longview after a stop (for me) at a quiltstore and at a fabulous bakery. Yum O the the shortbread cookies....

Onwards to Leadbetter State Park at the northern tip of the peninsula separating the quieter Willapa Bay full of private oysterbeds from the windier Pacific Ocean side. We had lunch on the quiet beach and then Dennis walked the mile loop while just sat in the sun and napped. We followed up with a visit to the historic buildings of Oysterville-wow, what an amazing village-and ended up at the working cranberry farm and museum. I never knew anything about the delicious berry, and am a lot more informed than before. We had a good day overall and were glad to take the extra day to relax.
We called it an early night and had dinner in our little cottage room. Tomorrow there is driving on Highway 101 back to Renton for appointments at the Integrative Cancer Center and then on to Virginia Mason in the late afternoon. We should have updates for you tomorrow. Thanking you for all your prayers, Dennis and Faith
