Days 8 & 9 - Various parts of Oregon

Thursday

  • Drove to the Yaquina Head lighthouse and walked to the top – very interesting mini tour
  • Toured the Hatfield Marine Science Center and watched an octopus eat a big ole’ crab
  • Lunch and naps at the beach house…
  • Went with Bekah and Lance to the outlet mall in Lincoln City for a “productive” shopping trip
  • Back to the beach house

Friday

  • Took family pictures on the balcony and down at the beach
  • Packed up and left the beach house :(
  • Headed south on the 101
  • Stopped at Cape Perpetua (if I lived in Oregon, I’d go camping there—very pretty)
  • Stopped at an overlook to the Heceta Head lighthouse
  • Stopped for lunch in Florence
  • Watched lots of different types of cool seals and sea lions just south of Coos Bay
  • Said goodbye to the rest of the family and began the drive to Crater Lake
  • Stopped for dinner in Roseburg (it was warm when we got out of the car in Roseburg—I suppose we haven’t been off the coast for a week—I’m not complaining, I’ve loved the cool beach air, but the warm, dry heat had a familiar feel to it:)
  • We’re still driving to Crater Lake
