Oregon Coast

The drive up the 101 was gorgeous. So many beautiful beaches, light houses, and scenic overlooks! We stopped at one of the dunes and hiked down about a mile to the ocean. Ada played with the sand crabs while Ruby enjoyed stretching her legs. We ended the full day with a tour of the Tillamook Cheese Factory. We had dinner, samples, and then ice cream :)

Trees of Mystery

Back to blogging…

We continued our journey up the 101 where we saw the beautiful redwoods and some wildlife. We also spent a few hours at the Trees of Mystery, a fun roadside attraction with giant statues of Paul Bunyan and his blue ox, Babe. It was fun to listen to Paul talk to the crowd, he even said a few words to Ada as we took pictures on his giant boot. We also enjoyed the tram ride and hiking through the trees as we imagined speeder bikes and Ewoks nearby :)

The night before, we ate dinner at the old Samoa Cookhouse. It was a neat family-style experience but a lot of food. I only had my phone, but Ruby was too cute eating her meal :)
