My Idea of a Perfect Day!

We had the perfect day I swear! We got up at 7:45 am Saturday and took our time getting ready! We left the apartment at 10 am and headed to Newport OR. Along the way we stopped at our favorite Mennonite Bakery. The best homemade goodies in the world and she only opens on Fridays and Saturdays. We ate her yummy homemade donuts in the most idyllic place, a beautiful gazebo, rocking in the most comfortable rockers surrounded by the smells of a working farm (no manure I swear, only flowers and fruit trees) and a cool breeze coming off the mountains. We left there sometime before noon and made our way to Newport and then on to a little tiny town called Depoe Bay, OR. We had lunch on the boardwalk then took our time wandering the little town, walking along the coast, and shopping in the cute little stores. Before we left we toured the city's whaling museum and spotted whales spouting just off the coast. As we made our way home we stopped at Heceta Beach snuggled between two large cliffs that block the constant breeze of the coast. Mason was able to wiggle his toes in the sand for the first time! Our evening was spent at RL and Joanne's place watching U of O trounce Washington. I could not have wished for a more perfect day!

Lunch at the Chowder Bowl, mmmm!


Mic loves the ocean, if he can help it we will probably always live close to the water!

There was a really strong breeze in Depoe Bay, it kept the tempature perfect!

He didn't grunt or cry so we are thinking he liked the beach

Mason's little friend Maeli (RL and Joanne's lil girl) she is exactly 3 weeks younger than Mason, how cute are these two.

What a great day! I'll bet Micah was so glad to be home after his week in Idaho. I am glad that you guys had such a great time - it looks and sounds like a blast.

I'm so jealous; I would love to be able to just 'drop by' the beach!
