Lincoln City September 15, 2012

YES!!!!  The sun is shining, it is a bit warmer, enough to put away the jeans and break out the capri's, well at least for the gals.  Ed and I started out the day with Trish and Tom and went to breakfast at Pig in the Blanket!  I think that is the name, a very nice breakfast.  We decided to go to Newport to the Aquarium.   I have to say I was very impressed.  This is an indoor and outdoor aquarium and it is so neat.  It is far better than the one we have in Monterrey California.  I hope the pictures turn out because the colors of some of these fish were really pretty.  We then started back to Lincoln City and stopped in a little town Depot City.  Trish and I went through some of the shops while Ed and Tom went over to the beach.  There is a Whale Visitor Center there that Ed explored.  We came back to camp and tried to get to the beach.  There is a tunnel under the highway but it goes to a hotel and really not to the beach. Ed and I went through the hotel to the beach and almost got blown away, it was so dang windy.  Decided to do the beach another day.  We had dinner at Mo's restaurant  a real popular place on the beach.  We did not have much of a wait but when we left they were out the door and down the side of the building.  We checked out that beach and there were quite a few folks having fires on the beach. Pretty cool!

Steve, Sue, George and Bev took a ride down and visited Newport and Depot City.  They did see some whales out in the ocean below Depot Bay.  Len, Paula, Dave, April, Bob, Oneta, Dorothy and Ed went into Salem to the Wool Factory tour and the State Capital.  They reported back that it was very interesting and they had a great day in Salem.  

Since there was so much spaghetti left over from last night, dinner was available again to those that wanted to stay in.  

Before I go on, I want to wish George and Bev a very Happy Anniversary. It is 55 years for this great couple.  Many happy wishes to you both, you are very special people.  George and Bev went out to dinner and was able to see a very beautiful sunset.   Bev is a very good sport, it seems we are always on a trip on their anniversary.  Much love to you both!

Bob, Oneta, Trisha, Dave and I played farkle again tonight, and for the second night in a row Oneta was the big winner.  In closing for tonight, I think everyone had a great day and tomorrow another day here on the Oregon coast...  

So until next time.......
