It's becoming or getting close to that time of year where families/couples/people take vacations. For 2023 we didn't have anything planned on account the kids would be home for the Summer and assumed they'd be involved in extracurricular sporting activities. Weren't we surprised when one of our kiddo's was invited to spend the entire Summer abroad playing in soccer tournaments and friendlies. Now, what to do with the other one? Thankfully, a spot opened up at a specialty camp for the entire Summer.
I was thinking because we just purchased this about a year ago (not the one in the picture, but one similar to that) with 1,500 miles on it, that we could drive down the Oregon Coast and follow PCH 101 all the way down to Monterey area and hit up the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
There's plenty of great hotels/inns/motels along the coast and we might even stop in Astoria to look at The Goonies house. I know if we go we're going to stay at a Hampton Inn or a Hilton if they're available because I need that comfort.
I really want to explore the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Has anyone been there? Any suggestions? I did notice there were quite a few marine wildlife centers around this area, makes sense I guess.
Has anyone stayed at The Mill? It's in North Bend Oregon.
