Jayson and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary March 28 this year. We wanted to do something fun, yet not too expensive. We looked into a few destinations, and decided on Oregon. As many of you are aware, I am a PLANNER! BUT..not this time! We had our flights, a car rental, five days and a GPS. NO RESERVATIONS! :) This is so unlike me...and I LOVED it!
Multnomah Falls
Crescent City, CA. First look at the Ocean
We met up with Gary and Natasha (my birth mother) in Medford, Oregon. I met up with her in Las Vegas in 2000, and talk to her often. It was great to meet Gary and let Jayson meet her. We had a great time visiting, and I am so grateful to know her.
We drove A LOT on day 2. From Portland to Medford, back to Grants Pass and then over to Crescent City. Thank Goodness our little Ford Escape had Sirius. Jayson made me listen to Blue Collar Comedy for most of the driving time. I don't let him drive - he scares me!
We drove to the "drive through tree" - NOT what I expected at all. It was a great little drive, but not my favorite.
Jayson was a tree hugger, and made me take lots of pictures of him next the the giant Redwoods to show the kids.
I'm so awesome.hahahahah!
My little friend - well call him Oscar. He was out in the ocean, all alone. He let me take pictures of him.
The Sea Lion caves were so fascinating. They said about 350-400 lions were in the cave. The week prior they had about 600. Jayson thought he was a sea lion, and made the "lion call" to them....and me for the next 50 miles.
Jayson was in HEAVEN with his full crab dinner. We found this hole in the wall diner. I don't do seafood - but her homemade pecan cheesecake was amazing!
Pacific City was our very most FAVORITE stop! Jayson was digging through the tide pools until it was too dark. I found this little star fish, and later killed it. It is on our back porch, loosing the sea smell still. Yes, I am a heartless killer! Don't judge me!
Astoria was out last stop. Yep - The ENTIRE Oregon Coast in only 4 days! We are planning to go back next year with the kids. I may have to do a little more planning, and book some hotels however.
