A quick shot of the Peter Iredale as we sped toward the “exit”. Pretty cool.

We limited yesterday… thanks to the fine professional stylings of our very knowledgeable and fast digging comrades. You guys rock. Or maybe I should say… you guys clam.

Here are the very stylish looking clam diggers. Total bounty hunters. Faster than a speeding clam. Are you all just clamoring for me to stop?

Not sure what the purpose of these sticks was/were. Interesting though. One never knows what one might see when one walks on the beach. (LOL That sentence just cracked me up. When did I get so proper?)

Uh, from the last entry… that would be last Friday afternoon, the 10th. Our anniversary is actually the 9th, but we really couldn’t take it off work as well. Have to save up that time off for trips to England and Chicago and visits with the kids. It’s OK though… we did go out to dinner last Thursday night to celebrate. Had some terrific Vietnamese food at Silk. Nice.

We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather Friday afternoon in Lincoln City. It was lovely. And warm. Great weather for a long stroll along the beach.

Down on the basalt beach at Yaquina Head you can get a good look at some of the local residents who sometimes, in turn, get a good look at you.

While in Newport we drove out to the Yaquina Head Lighthouse and then wandered down to the cool basalt beach there.

We took a little jaunt to the historic old bay front in Newport, Oregon. The bay front is actually still a working fishing port. For a time, besides wandering the shops, we walked on the docks looking at all the various fishing boats. Some of them were pretty cool. It’s fascinating to think of a life working at sea.

Can’t you just feel those negative ions flowing at you from this photo? They are strong… mighty… and completely relaxing.

Weston loves the beach… soft sand, lots to sniff, and freedom to run. He was on his lead in this photo, but actually got to be off it a few times to which he said woo whoooo. And yeah, I’m sure that’s what he said….

The waves weren’t really all that high, but these guys were giving it their best shot before taking this little break.

A Look From Inside, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
We spent the entire voyage across the Juan de Fuca Strait outside in the front of the ferry because Weston was allowed on deck, but not inside. However, sometimes a girl has to go in for a brief, uh, rest. Out there in the very front, or bow, of the ship you can see tiny figures… those would be Karen, Mary, Martin, and Weston.

Leaving the Harbor, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
The morning of Wednesday, June 25, we headed down to the ferry dock and boarded for our trip across the Juan de Fuca Strait to Port Angeles, Washington. From there we headed home, with stop at the McMenamin’s Olympic Club in Centralia for a bite of lunch. The drive home was made pretty enjoyable by the playing of the name this band game. I was the moderator. I put on a play list from my iPod and the other three had to guess the artist. I gave bonus points on some songs for knowing which movie the song was used in or what band the artist might have fronted in the past. Mary was the run away winner, leaving poor Karen and Martin behind. They have both vowed to best her the next time we play.

Later Tuesday morning we ventured out with Mary and Martin to grab some breakfast at a local bagel place and then walk around a bit more in the city. We found ourselves walking across the Johnson Bridge and then around the harbor. Sea planes are very common here. Every time we were down by the harbor we saw several come and go.
