When we came in Monday night we wanted to go find some dinner. We asked the ranger at the gate for a suggestion and he said there was a dive called the Relief Pitcher Tavern that made great burgers just outside of town.
We checked on Trip Adviser and it had 12 out of 12 really good reviews. We decided to go and check it out.

The picture looks kinda cute, but trust me it was a real DIVE bar, but we decided to trust the reviews we had and boy are we glad we did.
Patty had the tuna steak sandwich with hand cut seasoned fries. I had a pastrami cheese burger with home made cole slaw. I also had sun tea they make there.
The food was Awesome and the prices were right! The waitress was old fashion bar and grill nice! It's usually a good idea to ask locals for suggestions!
Tuesday we ventured downtown. Seaside is where Lewis and Clark ended their trek. They also had a salt works here for preserves and seasoning from the salt water.

Seaside honors Lewis and Clark at the end of Broadway Ave. with a sign and a statue where the Lewis and Clark trail ends. There is a turn-around here.

To the right of the sign you can see the base of the statue.

This picture is standing in front of the statue looking down Broadway. This is the main 'tourist' shopping street. Behind me is the turn-around.

There is a 1 1/2 mile boardwalk in Seaside. They also have an aquarium. You can see a yellow sign to the right on the boardwalk. That is the Seaside Aquarium. We probably won't go to it, because we went to it with Crystal and Matthew years ago. We seem to remember that it is more geared towards kids, more hands on.

Sometimes Patty cannot help herself and has to take a picture of things. This is one of them!

There were no less then 6 Ice Cream and candy stores on Broadway Ave. We did give in and shared a bowl of ice cream at Zingers Ice Cream. They make their own ice cream on the premises. It is very rich and GOOD! But not to worry, we are still doing good with the weight loss. Patty is down 10 lbs. and I am down 14 lbs.!
Here is a picture of the beach at the end of Broadway Ave.

Every time we go into town we need to cross the Neawanna Creek. At home this would be considered a river! Anyway there are bridges all over town.

We headed North to Gearhart to see if there was anything there. Small little town. Maybe a little more money then in Seaside. We drove through these homes to get beach access.

In Gearhart you can drive out onto the beach. In Oregon anytime when you can legally drive on the beach it is considered an Oregon highway.

We headed back home and barbecued hamburger.

We ate dinner and went to the pool and Jacuzzi again. At 10:00 pm there was still some light coming from the west. Strange! It would be hard to put kids to bed early during the summer here!

| Dinner's ready! |
Wednesday will be a work day, laundry and stuff, so we probably won't update for a few days.
Love you all!
Brian and Patty

That statue looks very familiar. Have you had a corn dog yet. Lol. It's almost time to cross the river for the spectacular fire works show!!

The corn dog place is gone now, but we found another place that had them. We did have lunch there. We are planning on going to Long Beach for the 4th! Yahoo!!!!
