Nancy made us a delicious breakfast before we hit the road. Since we were heading the same direction as the beach, I took mom on a cruise down the beach - for about five miles. It was fabulous!! The clouds were way low so you couldn't see much of the ocean but it was fun to weave our way down the beach. Thankfully, there weren't any sunbathers to squish because there wasn't any sun! The beach ended and we got back on the 101.
Our first stop was Seaside, Oregon to see the monument marking the end of the Lewis & Clark Corp of Discovery. Mom purchased an abridged version of one of the books on the Lewis & Clark journey at Fort Clatsup and we enjoyed listening to it while we drove the coast. It is fascinating story and one I never paid much attention to - but I plan to learn more!
We happened to be there just at the right moment because a group of Civil War re-enactors were just getting started for their 20 mile hike to Fort Stevens where they were having a Civil War demonstration for Labor day weekend. The captain said "what is our motto?" and all the men replied, "this is gunna suck!" It was hilarious. I loved the bagpiper!
We hiked to the top of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse which is the tallest lighthouse in Oregon - 93 feet. :) It was a beautiful view from the top - though they only let you stick your head up to see - you couldn't walk around the top.
Mom and Dad have a friend in their church, Ross, who was telling mom and me last week about a house in Waldport that his father built - which is now a bed & breakfast. We decided it would be a fun place to stay so we made a reservation. It was beautiful!! When we made the reservation she only had one room available but when we arrived, Sharon told us that the guests in the premiere suite had cancelled so mom decided to splurge and we upgraded. It was AMAZING! The balcony above my head is the balcony off our room and the view of the ocean was fabulous!
We took a walk on the beach just below our B&B and played in the sand. It was breezy and cool but the sand was hard and fun to walk on. We picked up a few rocks but didn't find many treasures.
We spent the evening enjoying our gorgeous room and a bottle of wine from the winery we had visited earlier in the week. I even took a bath in the jacuzzi tub. I could live like this!! It was a perfect evening in a beautiful room in a gorgeous home.
