After a homemade breakfast of Cranberry Buttermilk Pancakes with Fresh Nectarines, we headed out for Mount St. Helens. The day was cool and slightly overcast. Unfortunately, we never got to see the mountain entirely cloud free, but it was awe inspiring nevertheless.
Here a a couple of panoramic shots of the VOLCANO:

After fully experiencing the west side of Mount St. Helens (including 3 Visitor Centers!), we started the coastal portion of our trip by heading to Astoria, Oregon. We had a nice dinner at the Silver Salmon Grille and are currently trying to stay up later than we did last night.
Tomorrow: The North Coast of Oregon!
all this talk about your hard work on rectifying your sleep schedule, and you'd think you actually went to tokyo or something.
that mustang looks awesome. you take it off any jumps? also, i bet it gets the same mileage as the RAV4. maybe even worse, actually. also, is it the usual rental-car thing where it's an oddly bottom-of-the-line version of the car, like "hey, i didn't know they made 2-cylinder mustangs!" or are their sporty cars a little more top-of-the-line?
finally, your trip sounds awesome so far. i need to take a vacation. (stupid "buying a house.")
