Honey and I both adore being at the ocean, and so our vacations have usually been to travel along the coast from San Francisco north. Weather has never been a great concern, although the further north we travel, sometimes the rain is so intense you have to stop and let it pass.
We decided to go to Seattle, and stopped in Gold Beach Oregon on the way up to spend the night in a vacation rental home. It was great, as big as our own home only with 2 bedrooms…but the living room was huge, and the kitchen was gigantic compared to ours…I loved this place!
Continuing north, we arrived at our destination, and unpacked for the week stay. This was a condo, tucked away in a corner of the woods only a block or so from I-5, but you would never know it. The kitchen was designed out of the IKEA catalog, and everything was stuck on one wall. A Mini-fridge, a mini stove, the microwave mounted under the cabinets. The adjacent table could seat 4, but they would have to serve the food then eat, because there was barely room for the two of us our first meal.
We were tired and honey suggested we go out, so I went online to see what was close by. Meanwhile honey spotted one of those “we recommend” leaflets that inns typically have, and said let try this place, Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub.
What a choice!. It turns out the place frequently has shows, and so we were treated to be entertained after eating by someone I had not heard of, Liam Gallagher, of the band Oasis. Expectation was (since we were in Seattle) this might be some grunge type music, but we were pleasantly surprised.
It was a memorable evening
