Lincoln City

Last Thursday Adam's parents arrived in Oregon to see us. We spent the first night in our one bedroom apartment, then we packed up and headed to the coast for some beach time. Our first stop on the way was the David Hill Winery. It was a beautiful property and they have some nice wine.

This is the house they do the tastings in.

We also made a stop in Tillamook for some cheese and ice cream on our way to the beach.


We arrived at our condo in Lincoln City in time for book reading........
........and the sunset. It was so nice to feel the ocean breeze and sit on our deck.

We just could not stay inside, the sunsets were amazing.
We finally came in to warm up by the fire and read some more.
We had a really nice picnic at the beach.

Adam and Steve played football on the beach. They also went to a place called The Pines and watched the Iowa / Iowa State game and ate breakfast.

They flew a kite, but not this day. Deb and I were shopping the day they got the kite in the air.

Steve went looking for good skipping rocks.
He started making art in the sand.This is his rock flower.

We just laid on the beach.

The boys played cribbage every night.
I am not sure who won the worls series.


On our way back to Hillsboro we took Steve and Deb to our favorite eatery, the Pelican Brewery for some clam chowder and fish and chips.

We also wacthed some free entertainment while we were there, too bad our camera was in the CR-V. There were 3 trucks / SUV's that got stuck in the sand on the beach. Glad it was not us

Sarah and Brad we missed you guys!
