Right now that is all that really matters in the world. Us. We are in Oregon. Camping in our trailer at Seal Rock. We are on the beach....literally.
Getting here was awful. Driving. Then more driving. And finally, more driving. By the time we got here I wasn't too sure it would be worth it. It is. This morning we woke up to the sound of seals barking and waves crashing. The tide pools are amazing and we took advantage of the early hour and were alone on the beach. There were dozens of anemones and star fish as well as basking seals. Simply amazing. It was such a joy showing the Empress a tiny glimpse of sea life.
After the tide pools we drove the ten miles to Newport and visited the Oregon Coast Aquarium. It is a great aquarium. The Sea Otters were my favs. We bought the Empress a stuffed dolphin after talking her out of a gruesome shark. She named it Princess. Lovely. We had the best clam chowder at Mo's on the bayfront and slowly strolled the streets perusing the many cheap touristy shops.
We picked up some steaks and prawns on our way back out to the trailer. Eveything tastes amazing in the crisp sea air...and of course the view from our picnic table was phenomenal. Actually saw a whale this evening during dinner.
I am silently working out what it would take to become a full time vacationer. What a life. I am feeling rested and ready for our next adventure. It has been so nice spending time as part of our little threesome.
