Quicky Road Trip to Rockaway
The sun was shining and the wind wasn't blowing, so it seemed like a great day to point Gramma Judy's Subaru in a northerly direction, preferably stopping for a while at the Tillamook Cheese Factory for ice cream for Gramps and a slow stroll through their giftshop for Gramma. After our ice cream and shopping gluttony, we wandered up through Garibaldi and into the classic beach village of Rockaway.
When we were here the last time, it was a nice day, the sky was blue, and half the shops were closed. This time, it was a nice day, the sky was indeed blue, and, of course, half the shops were closed. We did, however, find a few of the crafty, artsy, stores open, enough to give Gramma a medium shopping experience and, I got to point my camera at a few of the colorful (boy, I'm glad I don't have to paint 'em) store fronts.
Rockaway has one venue that's always open and that's their miles-long, flat-for-walking, beach. A nice day was had by all, including Lily the socially neurotic beach dog.
