Oceans Shores, WA

In between biking Seattle to Portland I met up with Mike and his family. They were visiting his grandparents in Oceans Shore, WA and that happened to be pretty close to Centralia, the halfway point for us bikers.

Oceans Shore is located off the same exit as Forks, WA - for all you Twilight fans. Even though the movies weren't filmed in Forks the area looked crazy similar to the real movies. It was fun to see.

After eating some homemade Clam Chowder made by Mike's grandpa - and it was delicious - we went to the ocean shore only a few blocks from his grandparents house. I guess I forgot what beaches are like off of the Northern United States but the water is cold and the skies are cloudy. It was still lots of fun and we did a lot of neat things.

We had a blast on the beach; playing in the sand, sitting by a campfire (so fun!) and Mike and his dad moved a log to the top of a rock and made a teeter-toter, lol - it was all really fun!



FUN FACT: If you have read the Twilight series (which I have not), this is a casino that is actually the name of Jacob's Indian tribe in the book. Stephanie Meyers really knew her stuff about the area.
