Spring Break - Part 1

 

The day after Easter we started our spring break - we drove out to the coast, stopping first in Tillamook for some cheese factory fun and ice cream.



Then we drove down the coast a little ways - we stopped at Lincoln City to walk on the beach a bit

It was chilly but sunny

We stayed in a little beach house and walked from there down to the beach


Sunny but cold still




Hanging out playing Mancala

We went to breakfast one day at Pig n Pancake - a treat for us!

We visited the Yaquina lighthouse

at the lighthouse visitor center

We saw a lot of seals and sea lions

We looked in some tide pools - saw lots of creatures.  A ranger walked us around to some different creatures of interest because there weren't many people there to talk to




A very PNW coast kind of day


We went to the aquarium in Newport


We walked around Depoe Bay and looked for gray whales - we saw a couple from shore one summer when we were there - but no luck today.  We also got ice cream and salt water taffy.

And some clam chowder for dinner at Moe's


It was a quick trip but lots of fun!!
