For our trip, we flew into Seattle and spent a couple of days there and then we drove down the coast to a place called Seaside. We stayed at this quaint little place called the "Inn at Seaside" that came complete with a pool and continental breakfast.
The reason I am giving our one night stay a whole post of its own was the uniqueness of some of the hotel amenities. We found luggage racks parked next to the elevator which made transporting our luggage to the third floor much easier than toting everything individually. In the bathroom, there were no bottles of shampoo or packages of soap. Instead, dispensers were attached to the bathroom and shower walls with soap, shampoo, conditioning shampoo, body wash, and lotion. The woman who checked us in, I presume she was the owner because she was also there in the morning supervising someone else do checkouts, seemed geniunely interested in us and was very helpful. She also offered us the use of their movie collection available for guests to use in the video players in their rooms. A unique experience to staying in a hotel and not a bed and breakfast to be sure.
After we checked out, we drove to the beach where you can see the rocks from the movie "Goonies," then traveled to the cheese factory, the outlet mall where we did a LOT of shopping, and then on to Vancouver, Washington where we spend the last few days of our trip visiting with Raegan's family and traveling back and forth across theColumbia River to see the sights and do some more shopping before flying home.
