Happy Birthday Tom!!! His choice of how to celebrate this special day....Seal Rock State Park again. We had such a fun day exploring the tide pools, so we went down to the beach to explore a little more and possibly just sit and relax and watch the water. The beach was empty when we got there - only about two other people walking on the beach. We were commenting on how lucky we were to have our own private STUNNING beach! Next thing you know, we turned around and saw we had company. Hahahahah!
 |
| is there a better way to celebrate my birthday? |
 |

As we've driven through Oregon, we've noticed cute little express coffee shops along the roads we've traveled, but we haven't stopped in any (yet). They are coffee drive-throughs and seem to be very popular. One is cuter than the next, but I'm not sure how the coffee is. Haha! I will have to stop and try one. We haven't seen these coffee shops anywhere else in our travels throughout the country. Not sure if its just an Oregon thing...but I kinda like it!

| one more! |
After a busy morning on the beach, we went and enjoyed a delicious seafood lunch at Luna Sea Fish House. It was not much to look at from the outside, and was not fancy at all, but it was so delicious. We had a late lunch...around 2....and the place was packed! Looked like a lot of locals as well, which is always a good sign.
