Today Kelly and I took a quick day trip to the coast to meet up with my parents for Father’s Day. They’ve got one of them giant fifth-wheel RV’s and a semi-permanent spot not too far from Seaside, and now that my Dad’s retired, they spend most of their time down there. Kelly and I drove up Highway 30 to Astoria and wander through their weekend market/fair that they hold most of the summer (picked up some delicious kettle corn while there) before continuing on to meet my folks. Their little RV park is a funny “old people” type place; a bunch of RV’s parked in a row, each with their own perfectly manicured strip of lawn, pincic table and a plastic shed. I suppose it’s nice, but it’s nothing much to look at, and there’s no view (it’s well inland from the ocean). That said, Kelly and I had a nice time chatting and enjoying what little sunshine there was before we drove down to a nearby Chinese restaurant for dinner before driving back home. Quick little trip, but even a few hours at the coast is better than none at all.
