Day 7 - Around Long Beach, Washington

Slept into 7:32. Felt good not to have a travel day. Coffee and conversation with son Jeff and then off to breakfast about 9:30.

Jeff recommended 42nd Street Cafe and he couldn’t have picked a better start to the day. Barb had a waffle while I had a Hangtown Fry. For those unfamiliar with a Hangtown Fry, it’s an omelet the main ingredients of which are eggs, oysters and bacon. History has it originating in Placerville, CA., back in the gold rush days when the town was known as Hangtown. Probably didn’t pay to be on the wrong side of the law.

After breakfast we took a drive up to Oysterville, home of the famous, and my favorite, Willipa Bay Oysters. On the half shell, fried or in an omelet they are the best.

A short break back at the house for adult beverage and then off to see watercolors by very well-known artist Eric Wiegardt. Excellent watercolors of boats have me thinking about the budget.

Once again back to the house of more conversation and maybe an adult beverage. Ok, there was an adult beverage involved, but we were are drinking responsibly as many ads tell us to do. BBQ steaks, baked potato and fresh Nebraska corn made for a great dinner.

Tomorrow will be another day in and around Long Beach and will hopefully include oysters in some way, shape or form.
