"Our Grand Adventure" Part 1

I"m going to finally tell about our trip. We took TONS of pictures, so going through them all and deciding which to use was quite a job. I decided to just show the highlights but even that was alot of pictures, so I'm going to break it up and try to post a few pictures everyday. This first segment are many of the pictures along Highway 101 down the Oregon coast. If you have never driven down this Highway you should make it a point to do it sometimve. It is a beautiful drive, and there are many places to stop to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The weather was gorgeous, and it was such a nice start to our trip. We drove from Spokane to Newport Beach, Oregon, and stayed at a cabin/hotel right next to the beach. We stayed there on our Honeymoon, so it was very neat to stay there again.






We had to get the timing just right with this picture to get it with the wave crashing behind me. The sea was so tumultuous and impressive! It got to be a joke between us because there were so many places that were named something with Devil in it like Devil's churn, and Devil's throat, and Devil's elbow, or whatever. We started making up names like Devil's pants, and Devil's upset stomach, etc.








I like this picture even though its way too close and only a partial shot of us!



Although the day was very mild and nice, the night got really chilly and windy. This was not a staged shot, just Derek waiting for me to say smile!


I'm glad the flash got this...

Yeah!! you are back. Looking forward to all the pictures!!
WE drove that highway on our way to move to California. It wasn't so great for us. Hot, car sick, potty-training accidents...almost running out of gas...no a/c. It was a long drive. Glad it was better for you!
