Then we went ashore and walked to the Breakwater Bistro where we met my sister Lois who traveled 2 hours up from Tillamook OR. She treated us to a lovely lunch. We gave her some candied nuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back on the ship I did some blogging, then went to the casino where I won (but not much). We had dinner at O’Sheehan’s Pub, then played cards. We were both tired and fell asleep early.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
