The ocean just across the road from The Whaler Motel where we spent three days at Newport, Oregon. The mornings were socked-in and foggy, but after a half-day, it burned-off and turned out lovely!!! We had some nice times where we walked and explored the areas of Newport.
This walkway has been all redone. Tom remembers walking down to the beach here in Newport when his grandparents lived there, but there was NO nice walkway like this, just sandy, grassy trails that led to the beach! This was all right across from our Motel, so we felt really fortunate to have just "winged-it" and got this spot to stay AFTER we got to the coast. We had to find a "pet-friendly" place that would allow us to keep Jack. Just $10.00 extra a night. They supply the doggie bags, plus an extra sheet for the bed for him. Plus, the WHOLE motel is non-smoking, lucky us!!! :)

Yaquaina Head Lighthouse taken from our room, out on the patio. It's still foggy by the lighthouse!
Wooden picture in our room of a seagull!
We walked around Newport and found Tom's grandparents (Baker's) old home. Tom has many memories spent at this home when he was a young boy. This sculpture below was just across the street at a park and it reminded me of Anna and Derek when they were kids...of Anna reading a story to Derek....awwwwww Sweet!!!!! :)
Theses were neat looking places on the main street going to Nye Beach! A funky eclectic collection of homes and cottages for rent or sale. Lots of whimsy and fun places to see there!
