love us!

the fun continued with a saturday trip to the coast. before seeing the coast we needed a tour of the famous (and delicious) tillamook cheese factory. holly was giving some counsel to the cows... she's been reading way too many michael pollan books... on up hwy 101... holly learned that in fact oregon is significantly different than even northern california. not only do we have moss on trees we have picturesque rocks on our beach.

we arrived in cannon beach to bum around and take a walk as the sun left west on the ocean further to other lands. none of these pictures give the places seen credit, guess you'll have to learn yourself when you visit.

saturday ended with a fancy meal that the thought of makes me drool slightly.

the yurt thought got the backburner since it was already dark and we were only in seaside. so it was back to the via 1970s hotel on the boardwalk that i'm thinking may be a tradition to all out of town guests on the boardwalk. the night also includes sneaking into the hotel nearby that has a hot tub. good thing i acquired such skills as a teen in my hometown.

saturday night's highlight was sitting in the hot tub and seeing a grown man act like a mating bird. i literally saw him stick his chest out, like he was rustling his chest feathers as if he was a robin. it was quite amazing to watch as he tooted his own horn of being an md and and professor at osmi and then when he learned of boyfriend he quickly excused himself with his colleague. i haven't seen the animal channel in awhile but it was quite amazing how the instincts come back.

sunday started with a walk on the beach before heading back to p-town for the small events leading up to the departure. i was sad to see her go but cherished the time she was here. more adventures when she comes again in warmer weather.

love us!
