I just adore the Oregon Coast. . .


Back in January dear hubby and I took a much needed 'weekend getaway' to the Oregon coast.  We traveled down to Newport and stayed at a cool little 'Coast Gardens' place overlooking Newport Bay.

A huge storm came blowing in that evening and it was WAY COOL to see the humongous storm surge that brought a ton of water and HUGE crashing waves in the next day as we traversed some of the beaches.

Kinda cold--and misty--but VERY beautiful!





Devil's Churn is absolutely one of my most favorite places to visit along the Oregon Coast--and there was plenty of exciting waves crashing along the cliffs and sounding like booming cannons as it went back into the caves. . .

We managed to get some shopping in and take in some of the 'Better Establishments':




We stayed in the coolest little room right over the bay and had some noisy sea lions for neighbors--but with the use of a wave machine, floor fan, and ear plugs--we managed to get through the nights just fine!











Such a great trip--even in the cold, wintry time of year. . . now I gotta play 'catch up' with all my other adventures. . .

Winos, dingbats and riff-raff all in one establishment? Who could ask for anything more?

That is a great picture of the two of you.

You're right, Rebecca--you couldn't ask for anything more!

Thanks for the compliment--we used that photo for our wino, dingbat and riff-raff application.

(I think it worked)
