We really enjoyed our day at the coast. As the day of walking and enjoying the coastline came to an end I was able to try to capture the moment with a picture. We had a wonderful relaxing day at the coast, strolling along the beach together. Now we are off to see Leslie play in her last game of the regular season. Glad there are playoffs yet to enjoy. 
While driving south on the 101 going from Newport to Waldport, which is where Leslie's game was that night we stopped to enjoy the coast line. We went for a few walks along the beach in different areas of the coast and of course take a few pictures. This one was one of my favorites showing the beautiful pacific ocean coastline. God sure has created so many masterpieced for us to enjoy. I am very blessed to be able to stop and take the time to enjoy them with my husband.
We drove over to Newport, Oregon which is about an hour's drive from Albany. We spent the day shopping along the waterfront and walking along the shoreline. Leslie, our niece had a basketball game at the coast so we made a day out of it and enjoyed the coast beforing going to her game. The day was wonderful, the sun was shining and the sky was blue. This is the bridge in Newport where the water goes into the bay under highway 101. I thought this was a great view of the the bridge.
We went for a drive last week along highway 20 alongside the South Santiam River. We really enjoyed the drive, it was a beautiful view all the way. We stopped a few times to get out and walk around enjoying the river. It was raining (it is Oregon afterall) so we were the only ones around. We found several good spots for Tyler to go fishing, but what do we know about fishing. Tyler will have to let us know if the fishing is as good as the scenery.
