A fourth of July we will never forget

2pm on July 4th, 59 degrees and starting to rain. That alone would help you remember. People up here take the fourth of July very seriously. Warrenton is a small town near us. Chairs were lined up for over a mile to watch their parade. Who was left to be in the parade? It was starting to drizzle near the beginning of their parade, otherwise we would have found a parking spot and watched it.

 As promised we spent most of the day touring history.

 We ended the day on the beach of the Columbia river watching fireworks. A magical day



 Hope you enjoyed the July 4th holiday.


Let us see what today brings....
