Vacation Update

I am officially on the Oregon Coast. After the grueling drive from Seattle to Crescent City both my daughter and I were tired. But it didn't stop us from getting in the car nice and early on Sunday and heading to Avenue of the Giants. Pictures will never do justice to the beauty of these redwood trees. We made the trek to Trees of Mystery while we were out.

Monday morning we got another quick start and headed on the loop back up toward home. We were headed to the Safari Park in Bandon, Oregon, but we made a few impromptu stops along the way. The Prehistoric Gardens (well worth our time and money) and then some awesome time on a pullout at a incredible beach. All worth it! This made for another very long day by the time we pulled into Newport, Oregon.

So today we headed back to the Sea Lion Caves and, of course, more stops along the way at different beaches. I so cannot refuse the ocean and beaches. Fun was had. Now both of us are very tired and have decided to add another night to our stay here and make tomorrow a day of checking out all the sites this city has to offer, hence no long distance driving for a 24 hour period.

All fun and a few days to go.

Now back to your regularly scheduled updates, enjoy 'em!
