Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum and Oregon Coast

My posts on this blog aren’t all about RV modifications and maintenance. Sometimes we do other things. In this case, during our water sanitizing process… so yeah, can’t escape the maintenance stuff.

As previously mentioned, we are currently staying at the Olde Stone Village RV Park, which is next to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum.

They are connected by a walking path, of which we partook on Saturday:

The museum has some planes, including a jumbo jet, parked out front:

After the museums, we went for a drive, with the vague notion of perhaps doing some wine tasting, since there are a bunch of wineries in the area. But we don’t have any room for more wine at present, so decided to head to the Oregon coast instead.

We went to the outlet mall at Lincoln City, to buy some clothes and a blanket, then headed to the beach:

It was about 15:30, so we thought we’d have a snack or very early dinner at the Mo’s restaurant there, but even at that time it was very busy, with a half hour wait:

We decided we didn’t want to wait, so wandered across the road to an ice cream shop, and enjoyed cones instead:

When we got back, we spent the evening flushing out our fresh water. The excitement never ends.
