Days 25 - 26 ~ To the Ocean!

Headed to the Pacific Ocean

First time to write in the sand  :)

Would an Interior Designer like the outside of this house?

Interesting . . .

 

Dan's favorite !!

We were surprise how small the boats were on the water

Here's  a "Jetty" like by Gma & Pops!

The bridge from South Beach to Newport over Yaquina Bay

This lighthouse was only open for 3 years

Beautiful view as we entered the Lighthouse Park

We were walking on the rim and all of a sudden we saw . . .

Our First Whale !!!!

His back !

His tale was just coming out of the water!

His back again

Seals!

Mommie and baby (big baby!)

Seals performed for us and we didn't have to feed them like at Sea World

Waving at us

The little white one at the back was smiling for me

And this one came up to say hi to Dan!

Straight Up wall of weird rock

 

Snail still in his shell

Mommie smiled at me too

Weird Rock face

 

Waves were crashing in

A nice little seal cove

One of the first lighthouses on the west coast

Dan took a tour, walking up to the top and taking a few pictures of the Pacific Ocean and Coastline

This is the light they kept lit every night for 121 years.

The light in the lighthouse

This is why I didn't tour the Lighthouse  ;-)

Look :  that's Pam at the "Y" in the sidewalk

These oil canisters hold enough oil for one year

Tools of the light keepers trade

 

Awww !!!!!

Lunch time ! 

We headed up the coast to Agate Beach

Whale spout and pelican

Unbelievable how close that little boat got to that whale!

More Whales !  We enjoyed watching them for over an hour!

Look for the poof

More poofs

Foamy waves

Shadows are getting long

Headed to South Beach for our first sunset on the Pacific Ocean

Jellyfish that got washed up on the beach

Another jellyfish

Beautiful color

Going . . .  going . . .

gone

Bazaar trees in the South Beach Park; you could camp under these trees

...glad there wasn't anyone in there tonight
