Depoe Bay, Oregon

 Mike and I are currently in Lincoln City, Oregon for a week and yesterday we drove down to Depoe Bay.  Depoe Bay is the place to go to see whales virtually year round.  We have been there before but not actually seen whales from right at the harbor.....this time it was different!  This is the time of year when moms and their calves are feeding along the coast and we did get to watch them for a while!

We also saw beautiful coastline and seals and, of course, the obligatory blue heron;)  We walked a few miles in and around the small town doing some geocaching at the same time and had a wonderful day!

We were staying just a few miles away in Blooming Prairie and, of course, were going into Austin to a couple of breweries....how could we no...
