Honeyman State Park (at Oregon's coastal dunes)

It's hard to believe a full week has gone by since my last post.  Been doing a lot!
Yesterday, we toured Cape Perpetual, OR where the Thor's Well coastal cauldron breathes ocean water and the grey whales cavort. Everyone was up close, save the napping Grandpa Don.

The day before we were at Beverly Beach where we went deep sea fishing for rockfish and Dunginis (sp?) at Depoe Bay. The four of us caught our limit. Big D stayed ashore with Apollo.

Saturday we took the Bremerton ferry from Gig Harbor into Seattle to see Pike Place Market, Fountain Park skatepark, and the Experience Music Project pop culture museum. I visited some great friends while Eli & Luke stayed with their cousins in Tacoma.

 Mount St. Helen's was Friday. Incredible! So i bought a keychain.

Thursday was Mt. Hood, with a hike to Mirror lake, a half mile Alpine slide. Also my first ever and likely last bungee jump.

Checking out the salmon run at the Bonneville Dam fish ladder, right near the awesome Multnomah Falls on the Columbia River.

Imagine a picture of awesome Multnomah Falls right here!

(Photo capability is improving but not quite there yet.)

Skateboard park in Seattle.

This post is going so good I'll cash in my chips and hopefully get it in the record. Today is ATV riding and maybe sandboarding on the dunes. More later!
