Leaving Washington

Good Bye Washington. We left early this morning from south of the Seattle area and decided (as persuaded by Grandpa Beecher) to take the Coastal Highway route down the 101. We stopped to eat in a town called Olympia where Mitch took me to a Pizzeria in downtown. He had eatten there before on his mission. (His mission was the Tacoma Mission covering most of the NW area of the Olympic peninsula.) The comic picture above was painted on the exterior wall of the building the Old School Pizzeria was in. From there we took is easy and stopped along the way at what ever shops looked fun or to get a picture of the view. It really felt like the two way highway with the never ending canopy of trees was never going to give way to a view of the ocean but we finally got a few good glimpses. It was a very cloudy day and only got to see the sun a bit on the whole drive. I guess that's Oregon for you. :)
