OCEAN SHORES, WASHINGTON
Your next holiday needn’t be far

travel-wise

A FEW WEEKS ago we took the family and visited
Ocean Shores, WA, for a few days. Unfortunately

the weather wasn’t great but it was a pleasant
break. Ocean Shores is south of Seattle - turn west

off IS at Olympia towards Hoquiam and it’s right

on the coast.

The beach stretches for
miles in both directions. It’s
great for walking and horse-
back rding (rentals available
at $10 an hour) but isn’t
much for swimming. We've
visited at various times of
year but even in July it is
rarely warm enough to go
without a wind breaker.

I] was disappointed with
our condo — the Polynesian
— although it might have
been the unit we had. Slightly
shopworn! Also, the people
aboved us were lead-footed
and clomped around in what
sounded like rugby boots all
hours of the day and night.

We've always stayed at the
same place but next ume |
think Ill check out the Grey
Gull, next door.

Many of the condos in
Ocean Shores have fireplaces
and it’s a real pleasure to
light up the logs on a cold
afternoon.

On previous trips I'd
found that the groceries were
expensive so stocked up in
Hoquiam. That’s no longer
necessary — a big new super-
market has opened up just
across the street from the lit-
tle shopping centre.

We ate most of our meals
in the condo but did try the

ONION PATCH, a fairly
new restaurant in the shopp-
ing centre. Good food with a
continental flavor,
reasonable prices. Our bill
for dinner for two, with two
cocktails and wine was under
$40.

One afternoon Bnan and
the girls rented mopeds from
Mr. ‘‘T’s’’, right across the
street from the Polynesian.
They cost $8 an hour but
when my bedraggled family
were caught in a rainstorm
and returned early half of the
cost was voluntarily refund-
ed. The owner, (oo, let me try
out one of the machines but
after a jumpy tour of the
parking lot 1! decided it
wasn’t my hne of work. I was
grateful for the car as | pass-
ed my family making haste
for the ‘‘barn’’ through wind
and rain.

A letter from Manan God-
dard who operates the Guar-
dian Angels housesitting ser-
vice in West Vancouver. She
reminded me of her service
which I’d failed to mention in
a recent article on the care
and feeding of pussycats
while the owners are away.
She also mentioned that she's
changing the name of her ser-
vice to Guardian House-
sitting to avoid confusion
with that group downtown.
