It’s nice to get off the beaten path once in a while. I left I-5 and big cities behind and visited Willapa Elementary and South Bend Elementary on Wednesday and Raymond Elementary and Ocosta Elementary (Westport) on Thursday. All programs were my No Bullies Allowed school assembly.
There are some fantastic views of the ocean, rivers, and streams along the route. Despite the rainy weather, I stopped and played tourist at a couple of destinations.

- Cub Scout Cake Auction

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to stay in the area. Wednesday night I performed for the South King County Chamber of Commerce event at the Landmark Convention Center. Thursday night I acted as auctioneer for Cub Scout Pack 205’s annual Cake Auction at Centennial Elementary in Olympia. The creativity in the cakes was awesome to see. My personal favorite was a cake that looked exactly like an oversize caramel apple!
