We awoke to our first day of rain. Oh, well, one day in 40 is not too bad.
We planned to visit the Coastal Aquarium here in Newport. After spending the
morning in the aquarium, we got on the road again, beginning to make our way
back east. We traveled northeast to Portland. Here we visited two of our
favorites from Virginia; Baja Fresh and another trip to Trader Joes! After
dinner in the downtown Baja Fresh location we headed east along the Columbia
River. I was really disappointed that now the sun had set and we missed seeing
the river in daylight. Oh well, I guess that gives us a reason to go back some
day.

Yeah, another visit to Trader Joe’s. Here we stocked up on favorites like
coffee, chocolate covered raisins, pirate booties, cheese, and more…

Dinner at Baja Fresh, yummy.
