So…. Sat. Feb. 19th Verne came up with an idea to go see a waterfall we hadn’t seen before.  He said it was the largest fall in the Coastal Range Mt. and the 2nd largest in Oregon.   The Munson Falls were just about 6 miles from Tillamook, Oregon and we went to see them.    Of coarse in Tillamook we had to stop at the cheese factory, which we hadn’t done since the kids were little.   We got a bowl of ice cream and some “designer” cheese.   The falls were very impressive and we started heading North on Hwy. 101 on our way home.   Each town we came to we had not seen for some time and didn’t remember even being in some of the towns.    It was a beautiful day and the ice cream was not enough to take the place of a meal.    The closer we got to Cannon Beach our mouths were watering for the halibut fish and chips from Ecola Fish Market.     Well it just so happens that Callie and Brandon and the kids were at the beach house so we gave them a call.   Callie was so funny when we told her we were about 20 min. away and would stop and say “hi”  on our way back to Vancouver.    We found her and the kids on the beach and when she said to the kids, “Look who’s here!!!”   They all looked up and said,…”BONZI”  Oh, well.   We played in the sand for a while and gave the the babes a hug good-bye.   We really had a most enjoyable day.
