Down the Oregon coast

Three days without internet access means I am way behind, but luckily we took it easy the past few days. We traveled down the coast from Washington into Oregon and headed south down the Oregon coast.

The first night we stayed at a great Bed and Breakfast in Oceanside, Oregon. Judy, the owner, was the perfect hostess, and her place was gorgeous. What great views and hospitality we had. From recommending an excellent restaurant to a delicious breakfast the next morning, it was a good experience, a

nd the first time my mom had stayed at a B&B - so it was a very positive experience.

In spite of rain on Fr

iday we saw beautiful beaches a

nd scenery as we traveled not too far to Lincoln City, our next stop.

Here we had two nights in a condo type of lodging. There were two bedrooms, a living room and kitchen, and even a fireplace and huge jacuzzi tub, which I quickly took advantage of. It was very nice just relaxing and staying here. We walked on the beach, but mostly enjoyed the excellent view from our living room.

On

Sunday it was up and head further down the coast, stopping in Depoe Bay where we saw two whales -- well actually we just saw them blow, but it counted! It turned out sunny this day, so we were able to see the ocean and waves under a blue sky. Every turn around Hwy 101 was another stunning ocean site.

Sunday night we stayed in a motel in Florence, and will head back to Seattle Monday for our Tuesday morning flight back to Phoenix.
