When the temps hit the 90's in the Puget Sound, we head to the coast to cool off. Last weekend, we went to the central Oregon coast for a few days. We stayed in Lincoln City.
Lincoln City: rocks in the slough.
Lava rocks in the bay on the way to Depot Bay. On Saturday, we visited the Central Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport.
Anni and Alex hide in the mangrove roots at the Newport Aquarium.
Seahorse hanging around.
Japanese spider crabs grappling for territory.
Jellyfish.
Flying saucers? No, more jellies.
Huffy puffins.
Entering the reef tunnel.
Eaten by yet another shark. (Every time we go to the beach!)
After seeing all those fish, we needed Seafood. Lunch was at Mo's, an Oregon icon for clam chowder - yum!
The Historic Anchor Inn in Lincoln City.
Hanging out with Maritime Mary.
Anyone got a nickle for the pop machine?
Seriously mom, we only need 1 life preserver!
Fountain posing.
Getting ready to head up the coast line.
Waving bye to our favorite ceiling artifact.
So long, Anchor Inn.
Anni beckoning her pirate.
Alex and Ari on shore leave. On Sunday, we spent the morning exploring Lincoln City, visiting taffy shops, book stores, souvenir stands, and a kite emporium. Then we fueled up on gas and caffeine and headed up the coast.
We took the 101 up the coast on the way home, stopping at the Tillamook Cheese Factory. It was very crowded with dairy loving folks.
Water rocks near Cannon Beach. We stopped here for a seafood lunch before driving through Seaside and on to Astoria.
The bridge back to Washington and the long drive up I-5. We had a great respite from the 90 degree weather at home! The future farmers were great travelers!
