At the end of the day’s travels we felt like we had been through two different days. The morning into early afternoon was overcast and the scenery appeared moody and mystical. By the time we reached Boiling Bay, the sunshine came through and we started seeing gray whales close into shore along with dramatic cliffs, sea stacks and gigantic waves. Picture postcard beautiful! From one bend to the next nature’s paintbrush was unleashed in such dramatic and virtuoso fashion that it virtually took your breath away. By the time we got to our charming Inn on Nye Beach we were transported by Oregon’s coastline.
These views never got old...
These sights weren't uncommon as we came down the Oregon coast

Fort Clatsop, where Lewis and Clark spent the winter. They named the Fort after the local natives  We were surprised by how small the fort actually was! |

We loved the fireplace in our room at night

Mike found Sorella’s Italian Restaurant a quick walk away. After another wonderful dinner with a lovely Oregon Pinot Noir.
 We had a wonderful Italian three course meal, deliciouso!!!  This Pinot Noir that they had on special was fabulous as well!!!
The Inn’s hot tub and fire pits were fairly packed; so we enjoyed our ocean view balcony and our fireplace, as the sunset for the day.
 AH...Thank you God, Jesus, Buddha, Whomever... |
