Tuesday…. The Oregon Coast

Tuesday was the Coast!!  We love the Oregon Coast, and any first time visitor has to be taken there if there is time!! 

Time for another coffee break??  I thought so!

Here in the valley that Tuesday it was 83 degrees at the time I called Sam.  It was only 52 degrees where we were at Rock Creek in Lincoln City. Just an hour and a half away!

But I have to tell you, as cold as it was, it was a welcome break from the valley heat!  The only downer was all the fog!

this is the beach over by Dory Cove, but the View from Cape Fowl Weather is usually breathtaking, but this day you couldn’t see but ten feet of water looking strait down from the 500 foot cliff! (Hence no photo from there!)  but it was wonderful all the same!

I had a great time showing Jill around anyway, and mom even sat in the van (between casino’s which is what the “sisters” really went to the beach to do!) while Jill and I went out on the beach so that she could put her feet in the Pacific Ocean!  With as cold as the water is, it’s a wonder she still has her feet intact! ha ha ha  It was a great day!  On the way back from the coast we stopped at the casino to have dinner with “the sisters” (our mom’s and Aunt Ruthann) and Uncle Jim.  The buffet was HUGE!!  and thankfully bought some new pants for the day so they weren’t tight!! (I should have lost some weight since delivery, which i have, but i’m still not back into my ‘regular’ pants!  Jill took some time to play the machines while I found a quiet corner to nurse Ziva and hang out in front of a fire so she could have some kick time.  Only Aunt Beth came out ahead (she always seems to win!!)

Jill and I had made such great plans that “the sisters” decided to join us the next day was well!
