Recently returned from a road trip from San Diego, CA to Vancouver, BC and back. Along the way, we made stops in Seattle, WA and Mt. Saint Helens, Bainbridge Island, WA, Seaside, OR, Tillamook, OR (home of the best cheddar cheese in the world), and Bodega Bay, CA, to name a few. Basically, went up highway 5 northbound, then headed back down the 101 and Pacific Coast Highway to San Francisco. It's a beautiful drive and I highly recommend it. I was most impressed with Oregon. Stayed in Seattle for about five days and visited Pike Place Market where the very first Starbucks Coffeshop was opened in '71, toured the Space Needle, the Port of Seattle Locks (Sockeye were spawning!), the Boeing Aircraft Museum to see inside of an old Air Force One and the last Concorde from British Airways.
