We took a couple days off work the end of this week to make a quick trip to the coast. We headed south to explore a few places we hadn't been to. It was a very relaxing trip and we loved spending the time together.
Lincoln City
 |
| Some beach time... the sun was out and we were lucky to catch this picture with Scott's eyes open. |
 |
| We found several rocks on the beach with these perfectly cylindrical holes worn in them. |
 |
| Scott found this driftwood with a mermaid on it. |
We found some pretty soft rocks that would break easily... but every time
we went to capture King Kong crushing one on video, he just buried it... it was fun.
Newport
 |
The Yaquina Head Lighthouse just north of Newport. It is the tallest in Oregon and
other cool and important facts we can't remember. |
 |
| It is getting harder and harder to find a flattering angle these days... |
 |
| We strolled along the bayfront. |
 |
| We ate a yummy seafood lunch overlooking the bay. |
 |
| A couple sea lions sunbathing. |
Yachats (pronounced ya-hots)
 |
We stayed at a lodge/spa that was a lot of fun. Not pictured are the massages
and spa time. It was perfect! |
 |
| We were right on a rocky beach and had a great view from our window. |
 |
| We saw these cairns that someone had created... Scott was inspired and had to create one of his own. |
It was much, much bigger of course...
Florence
 |
| This is Cape Perpetua, also known as the highest point on the Oregon coast. |
 |
| There was a car show the next day in town so we saw some fun old cars. |
 |
We stopped by the sea lions cave. They sing beautiful songs...
We also saw a few orcas heading north from this view point. Very fun. |
 |
| Most of the sea lions were outside enjoying the nice weather, but the cave was still really cool. |
 |
| We found a windy beach and flew our patriotic kite. |
