Ocean City, WA

Just a brief note to say we're here and we're up and running. Through serendipity we located a camp site that has a huge opening in the trees so we could point both satellite dishes towards the open sky.

Yesterday was a shopping day, which meant a 50-mile round trip to Aberdeen to hit the Walmart and Safeway. Being out in the boonies is great for scenery and solitude but tough on gas mileage! I tried to stock up at Walmart as our next destination will be over 45 miles one way from the nearest Walmart-quelles horreurs ! (translation: OMG!) The state of Washington doesn't have a lot of the Walmart Super centers so I'm now out of my favorite GAV French Roast Arabica bean coffee, sigh.

Today before the crowds hit the area I hope to drive down the road to Ocean Shores to see the beach. The town will have fireworks at the beach Monday and perhaps I can convince Denny it would be fun to go freeze our rear ends off while watching a fireworks display. Odds are not good, though. Heh.
