The finale to this saga!
We drove up from the rainy California up to Newport, Oregon.

My parents love this city. I think they could buy a condo here and let me borrow it 😉
Our first stop in Newport was the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse.


My mom photographed the steps leading up the lighthouse tower. I need this photo printed and hung on my wall.

The bay below was an adventure in and of itself. The ocean was CHILLY.



Lmao. Silly kids.
Some other beach finds:




Plus this sea lion keeping an eye on us 🙂

And the fuzziest caterpillar that ever lived.

We took a lunch break at Nana’s Irish Pub (my parents’ favorite restaurant).


10/10 recommend.
Then a little browsing among the wharf:

Unfortunately, Taylor’s PTO ran out, so our little family headed out for home. But here are some final pictures for memory’s sake 🙂








Thanks for organizing this trip, Mom & Dad! 🙂
