It was foggy, cloudy, and drizzly in the morning. Elaine took her walk into town anyway. I walked the other way, away from town, to Boiler Bay Overlook. It’s one of the nicest overlooks on Oregon 101, but not so nice when it is drizzling. Great whale watching and bird watching spot. I saw no whales and only a few seagulls (flying rats) and blackbirds.
The afternoon was sunny. Elaine got her haircut. And the Chamber of Commerce called. Guess what? We won an overnight stay at the Inn at Otter Crest in the raffle at the Salmon Bake. We may give it to someone. We drove into Newport and had lunch at our favorite luncheon spot at the harbor, Local Oceans, a combination fish market and restaurant. We shared the must-have grilled calamari salad for a starter. I had my usual sandwich, the rockfish italiano while Elaine enjoyed fish tacos. No food pictures today. We watched the sea lions for a bit and visited a few of the many shops.
Cocktails on the balcony were under bright sun. Dinner was homemade pizza and salad. Then early to bed.
Wednesday was sunny all day with a little light fog in the morning. We decided to walk (together for a change) into town and have breakfast at Gracie’s Sea Hag. Elaine had scrambled eggs and diced ham. I had a Hangtown Fry – an omelet with Yaquina Bay oysters. Yum. Then we checked the foggy harbor and watched the surf across the street as it pounded the rocks. Great spray. Instant rainbows.

In the afternoon we drove the hour north up the coast to Tillamook. We had yummy ice cream cones at the Tillamook Creamery. They make the best ice cream! Then we visited the Blue Heron Cheese Store to get some of their great pepper brie. I took some pictures on their property where they have various live animals and lots of old equipment.
Hope…. you picture of the rainbow gave mg hope and the combination of oysters and eggs BRILLIANT
Wow. For a rainy start, it sure turned out to be a beautiful day. What great pictures of the surf and rainbows. And ya gotta love those sea lions. I also love that wood carving outside the Sea Hag from yesterday’s blog.
Sorry, Cindy, about asking about the balcony chairs!! Jeff and I are great. Hope you and Bill are too.
I agree about the ice cream, favorite choc.
With Peanut Butter. The Brie with pepper sounds really good too. You all certainly eat well on your trips! Never get tired of the ocean pics. Sue loved your response. Happy to hear you and Jeff are well. Bill and I are good for two retired folks. Enjoying grown children and grandchildren (6)-oldest freshman in college!
What a delightful two days for sure! It’s thursday here and we are gearing up for Packers game tonight. Bought dungeons crab at costco and will treat ourselves to that.
Weather here cool. More rain last night. Think that may be the end of the storms. I love Tillamook, yum indeed!!
