Oregon Coast

First of all, another Shout Out to the Travers family -- Thank you for housing us!

And next, Shout Outs to the fine people of Warrenton, Oregon:  Howard at Staples, who helped us obtain "business" cards with our blog addresses; and Heather and Cari at tjmaxx for the road trip tips!

Here are a few photos of our trip from Astoria to Cape Lookout, Oregon.

We passed these deer as we left the Travers' house.

Me practicing the art of the selfie with Snoopy (for Annie).

Cassie on the carousel at Seaside, Oregon.  We got some people to wave at us!  They were reluctant, at first, but they caught on.  From here we went to Bagels by the Sea (recommended by Cari at tjmaxx).  I had the BLT and avocado bagel on a cheddar and bacon bagel, and it was seriously delicious. 

Indian Beach (just north of Cannon Beach).

My favorite photographer.  That purple stuff around her feet that looks like flower petals?  Yeah, that's not flower petals.  Turns out it's thousands of dead jellyfish that came there to stink up the place.


The Oregon Coast is beautiful!

And then -- Say Cheese! 

Cow selfie.  Moo.

The Oompah Loopahs of Cheese, hard at work.  Okay, actually the "factory tour" was a little disappointing.  You get to watch a video about cheese-making, but all the action you get to see is the packaging of the medium cheddar.  Maybe we were there too late in the day.    We were too late for lunch (I really wanted a grilled cheese sandwich, but I had that bagel earlier), but it's never too late for ice cream!  Heads up -- the 3-scoop "sampler" size is huge.  These are not SAMPLE sized scoops.  They are regular size ice cream scoops.  I couldn't finish mine. 

This dead tree on Cape Lookout beach  near our campsite looked like it wanted a hug.

Here's Cassie taking selfies with the hugging tree.

We're waiting for sunset.  And it was beautiful!  I didn't take pictures, but Cassie did.  Check her blog....
