May 25, 26th - Florence OR

May 25,26th - Florence OR
Wed – We headed north a few miles on the bike to check out the sea lion caves attraction. I knew there wouldn't be a lot of animals in the cave at this time of year and once we talked to someone there we decided not to pay the $14 per person entry fee to smell the cave and watch sea lions in the “rookery” from high on a cliff. There is definitely not enough to do here as we ended up back at the casino! Once again it was not expensive entertainment. We stopped at Chen's Family Dinner restaurant for an early dinner. We ordered a family style dinner for 2 and could not believe the amount of good food. Started with soup (bigger than a cup, smaller than a bowl), then 3 different appetizers (spring rolls, BBQ pork & crab puffs) and 4 main dishes (sweet & sour pork, sesame chicken, pork with noodles, chicken fried rice). Except for the soup, I think we took home as much as we ate. All for $10.50 per person.
Thurs – After our usual morning laziness, we went to the clubhouse here at the park to exchange some books. Small selection but I did find enough to keep me going for a while. We went back to the casino in part to enter a slot tournament – for free! Unfortunately, in our first try with 8 others we came in 8th & 9th!! We had a very late lunch at the buffet and then used up the remaining afternoon losing very little money. We stopped for a couple of items at Fred Meyers on the way back. I am wasting a lot less food by stopping nearly every day for groceries!
