It was a cool night. as usual, and we slept with the window barely open so when we woke up, we decided to put a fire in our fireplace. I enjoyed sitting by the fire and watching the flames dance about. I love fire so much that I've been known to turn the AC on just so I can put a fire in the fireplace. :) I definitely enjoyed that feature of our B&B.
We also enjoyed coffee in bed looking out the sliding glass doors onto the ocean view below. It was spectacular! They delivered coffee to our room at 7:30am for us to enjoy when we woke up. Breakfast was served at 8:30 and we enjoyed visiting with the one other couple that was staying in the B&B. Sharon made delicious cheese blintzes as well as muffins and scones. Quite possibly a perfect breakfast!
We continued driving down Highway 101. Wepassed several lighthouses along the way as well as gorgeous views of the Oregon coast.
We stopped at a vista point for Devil's Churn and we were told they had spotted whales just beyond the white caps. We watched for awhile and even took the 2 mile drive to the top of the cliff so we could get a better view. I did see a couple of water fountains from their spout but never saw the actual whale. I guess we'll just have to keep looking!
We took a little detour over to the Redwood State Park because mom wanted to get up close and personal with the gigantic trees. I was glad she was there. She saved the day when a tree almost fell on her - and she didn't even break a sweat!
We also took a scenic drive that paralleled the 101 and stopped to take a picture with a tree that was hollow. We had an interesting time finding a way to set up the camera with the timer since nobody else was around but we managed. We decided to drive as far as we could but ended up going even further before we found a hotel. We finally found a vacancy in Fortuna and called it a night.
