Alan and I had a GREAT time at the Oregon coast with friends! Here we are Sunday evening down on the beach about an hour or so before sunset. What a wonderful place, and fabulous weekend! We stayed at a great little "vintage" beach cottage in the Nye Beach area of Newport. The area is perfect! Lots of little shops and cafe/bistros. Even the weather was perfect!
Alan flew home to Texas today, but I'm staying in Oregon to visit with more friends and family. I'm looking forward to seeing my friends, but wish Alan could have stayed longer here with me! Weekends just aren't long enough.
Don't look at this photo too long... you'll get dizzy from the slanted horizon! Haa!
More later! =)
I LOVE the dizzy making horizon, I'm silly that way, and there is that CUTE couple again. TFS.

Oh, I absolutely LOVE the Oregon coast - we took 101 on our motorcycle a couple of years in a row, last year and before, and it is a wonderful ride. Newport is a great place to visit - lots of lighthouses, and I have some friends who manage the South Beach state park campground there, so we got to visit them and stay there....drink it all in..you'll have wonderful memories and dreams!!

What a great photo of you both, Anna -- and the gorgeous coastline. Hope you are enjoying your trip . . . bring back some cool NW weather & rain to Texas, okay?!!

Anna, you're making me homesick! I'm a native Oregonian and spent countless weekends and summers at the Oregon Coast. It's one of my favorite places in the whole world! And I love the Nye Beach area - the shops and galleries and the Chowder Bowl, yum!

Oh, it was beautiful down here today, too! But, gee, I had to work. I'll bet the beach was wonderful. My husband, Rich, is in Newport today. You sure make a cute couple!

Anna, How fun! We were down at the Oregon Coast (Seaside) about 3 weeks ago but the weather was not so nice. We still had a great time though. I'm glad you & hubby had fun together. Ida

Love your picture! It looks amazing. I've never been to the Oregon coast but have some family in Oregon. Perhaps I'll have to plan a vacation for the whole family. Traveling that far in a car with 4 kids just doesn't sound too exciting or quiet. Airfare for a family of six would for sure put us in the "poorhouse." Have a fabulous time for the remainder of your stay.

Have fun

What a great pic! I remember Newport well. Spent the Fourth of July there in 2003. We watched the fireworks from under the bridge. Too bad Alan had to go home, but all those critters must have been good and hungry by the time he got home! (Just kidding!)

What a great pic of you both! Have a great time- it looks so relaxing!
