Sept. 10, 2014 --- South along the beach to Newport:
It was another gorgeous day on the beach, so we headed south again.  

Taking a little side road off of 101.

Pretty estuary along the way.

Fogarty Beach from 101.  We use to take the kids here when they were little and we would all climb all over this rock.  Ken thinks it got smaller, but I think that's just because of how far away from it we are here.

 driving up to Boiler Bay from 101.

 Boiler Bay.

Lots and lots of whales.

 and other critters.

 from Cape Foulweather, again.

Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area 

 the marina in Newport Bay.

 Another painting on a wall in Newport by the bay.

dead trees in an area along the coast that regularly floods.

  We didn't exert ourselves too much today.  Mostly driving around, then back to the condo to watch tv and chill out until time for dinner.  Then we drove inland to Spirit Mountain Casino to meet up with my sister and Chester for dinner at the buffet there.  It was another nice visit.
