First Wedding Anniversary: Oregon Coast

J and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary this weekend at the Oregon coast, with the majority of our stay in Depoe Bay.

The trip included:
-An uneventful flight to Portland
-A beautiful drive to Cannon Beach where we walked the main street and ate lunch on the beach
-An adventurous drive to Depoe Bay which included stops at the Tillamook Cheese factory (surprisingly fun!)
-A fantastic B&B room with a hottub on the porch overlooking the bay - you could hear the buoy bells and the seagulls - and J rocked at spotting seals/sea lions!
-Also: our goal is to now own a Tempur-pedic mattress...so restful!
-Awesome: Fish n Chips at an Irish pub across the streets with drinks to match
-Walking the strip of shops in Depoe Bay and enjoying Italian sodas and clam chowder
-An exploration of the Fogarty Creek area and the beach the creek ran through
-An elegant dinner at Tidal Raves (J had five different types of  fish and seafood by the end of the day)
-Of course, there was breakfast every morning!
-Thanks to Google Maps, our trip back to Portland was more "fun" than was cared for, but we made it to our flight and the crew was a hoot. :)

Thanks to J for these pictures!

I chose to sit :P

Fogarty Creek area. The beach there was really interesting...the sand was large and a creek ran right in to the ocean!
