Ahh yes, it has been a while. We enjoyed our visit with family in Washington and are now back on the road heading down the west coast. Our first stop is Seal Rocks for 2 weeks, right on the 101 just south of Newport, OR. What a beautiful spot! We may not see much of it with all the marine fog this time of year but our first day here, yesterday, was spectacular!

| the seals were enjoying the shallows this morning! |
We drove up the coast just past Newport to the Yaquina Head Lighthouse and what a treat that turned out to be!!

Right off the rocks and all around the point we watched grey whales for hours! They were so close!

| sea lions hang out at Cobblestone as well |
In Yaquina Bay we checked out Rogue Brewery and watched the sea lions and their antics on the sea lion pier and rocks there. They were very entertaining and very noisy!!
 |
| this sea lion in the water is looking for a spot but the others will not let him on |
 |
| here the sea lion splashes the water seeming trying to annoy the others. It works and they all start barking at him! |

| sunset from our campground, what an amazing day! |
