SEASIDE, OREGON

We finished the vacation part of our trip in Seaside.  We have been coming here for 30 years.  WOW!  Now our kids bring their kids here too.  This is the ultimate tourist beach town!

                                          So, here's the beach...

                              We went out early, at low tide, searching for sand dollars...Reed found one...then we walked to the other end of the beach,  and found the motherlode!  We had to stop ourselves from filling our shopping bag!  We gave some to the daughter of a Chinese tourist couple, and pointed out our "spot" to another family of seekers.  I don't know why it's such a thrill, but we love to collect sand dollars...there aren't very many other types of shells at Seaside.  Just sand dollars!
