Days 7-9

Day 7 - try to see whales, tell us water is rough so we don't go - rest of family tries to see whales and gets sick whole time - sees no whales - sounds like a good call on our part. So we look at shops and go swimming while they recoup.

Day 8 - we go to Sea Lion caves in Florence (about 1 1/2 hrs. away). Sister's family goes to beach. Fun, windy, chilly. Couldn't believe how close they were and how many. Unfortunately you couldn't use flash so the pictures don't do it justice. Neal and I go to dinner at Tidal Raves for anniversary - yum! Good place to eat.
Day 9 - Go to Fogarty beach north about a mile - good idea, not windy and actually got to wear shorts. Water rough but had good time playing on edge of water. Grownups go to dinner at Sea Hag for seafood - gotta love Alaskan King crab legs. Come back and make s'mores. Perfect way to end the week! Had beautiful sunset too.


Wow I seem to eat a lot - but boy was it good!!!!!

Days 10-12 - the End!

Day 10 - leave Depoe Bay to go to Klamath Falls - stop at Crater Lake on the way - beautiful, worth the stop, couldn't believe how blue the water was. It was also funny to be up in the snow when we were just at the beach. From Summers 2010 in the sand to the snow.

Day 11 - leave Klamath to stop for in Winnemuca, yes Winnemuca - enjoyed doing nothing but rest so we don't have such a long drive.
Day 12 - leave for home.

Other stuff -
had fun, whole week was windy, in mid-50s, and ate LOTS of ice cream at Fuddy Duddy Fudge. Gotta love Tillamook Mudslide! Lots of seagulls. Relaxing time.

Wait for it!

3rd time's a charm!

Tulips in the Garden...

Yeah! My first tulips I've ever planted and here they come!





But wait, there's more!!

I love Nature!

I took this one on our back porch - it's on our Aspen tree!

Science and weather - one of my favorite things! EVAPORATION at work!
This is in our backyard.

It's March Madness I Tell You!
