A Beautiful Beach Weekend

This was the view from our hotel window on Saturday afternoon. With the view like this it was hard sometimes to leave the hotel. But, we managed to get out and enjoy the beach and the town of Newport. It was one of our favorite trips to Newport. Nothing beats sunshine in Oregon at the coast.



Meadow and I went to the historic Newport Bay while Todd was in his conference. It is a nice harbor with a boardwalk and several shops and restaurants lining the street. It was fun to watch the seal lions bask in the sun. I think Meadow enjoyed their loud barking noises. We picked up some salt water taffy along our walk to share with Todd and family in New York. Later that evening we came back with Todd to enjoy a bite to eat at the Whale's Tale (one of our favorite restaurants in Newport) and enjoyed some wonderful northwest halibut and salmon. The night before we discovered the Canyon Way bookstore and restaurant. We both had wonderful seafood dishes. Todd's co-worker, Keith, had recommended the place and came along with us. It was nice to have the extra help to finish an amazing chocolate dessert.




















These are a few pictures from Agate beach, which was right in front of our hotel. We had a great time just strolling up and down. We walked all the way to the rocks in this picture.

I can't believe you were that close to the sea lions! When Jerri and I saw sea lions they were further away and still really loud. That must have been quite a noise. Can't wait to see you!

That is so cool that you were blogging from the hotel! You're getting really into it. I love it. And, yes! Beth, do you remember how obsessed I was with sea lions? HOW FUN!
