    Yup, thats the pacific northwest! Having grown up outside of Seattle I have never gone crabbing! I have fond memories of Lincoln City because my grandparents took us there for a week each summer. Two fun shops I still remember (if they are still there on the main street) are the teddy bear shop and the bear claw dounuts at the bakery. I love reading sbout your travels!ReplyCancel
