As we were finishing up I noticed that my camera battery was on its last bar and I left my charger and extra battery at home! I was ticked!! We had to make an emergency stop in Portland and found a Ritz Camera open for another hour. Got what I needed and we headed south to our first real stop. After staying the night, we went out and enjoyed the beach and got a little wet.
One of the major sightseeing goals was to see four lighthouses. They were all great but the Yaquina Head was my favorite to visit and shoot.
In the same area we got to see some seals chillaxing on a few rocks in a tide pool area. Lisa talked to them and got them to look up for some great pictures. One of the seals kept hitting another one and it would let out a big 'bark.' It was pretty funny.
We didn't cross this bridge but thought it was cool. Boats left this area to go fishing and likely some whale watching.
This is the top of a cute squatty lighthouse in northern Oregon.
We stayed at three different places, each right on the beach. The last one was in Depoe Bay, the whale watching capital of Oregon. Unfortunately we weren't able to go out on a boat because the water was too rough. Oh well, maybe next time. This picture was from the patio of our suite. Absolutely breathtaking. When we got in, we just sat and watched the waves roar in for hours. It was so relaxing! Lisa and I had such a great time and enjoying spending some quality time together.
