The Coast

It was a beautiful day yesterday, so we took to a trip to the coast. Temperatures were in the mid 70's, the sun was shining brightly, the skies were blue and clear... it was a perfect day. We even got mild sunburns!

We visited a lighthouse in Newport, walked along the beach in the surf, took lots of pictures, looked for sea creatures in the tide pools, ate milkshakes and had a splendid time together.

It was impossible to pick only a couple pictures to post, so I'm going to post more than a few. Sorry, dialup users!






The Yaquina Lighthouse


This was taken about halfway up the lighthouse.


The view from the top of the lighthouse.


The lighthouse is still in use and its light can be seen up to 22 miles out at sea.
















Yes, I did get in the water and yes, it was cold!



Now we're off to the tulip farms in Woodburn!

So pretty Sarah! The scenery is just gorgeous! The one of the lighthouse is really pretty but I think I like the top one the best.
