Don’t go looking for Day 3 of our trip. We were on the road from Bend to Lincoln City, Oregon. I would have taken some photos when we walked down to the beach after checking into our hotel, but after I got to the beach, I realized that I failed to put the SD card back into my camera. D’oh! Sadly, not the first time that has happened to me!

I do have some dashcam videos from Bend to Lincoln City and maybe someday I’ll go through them and post a couple. Ok. Let’s be honest. Probably not!

Day 4, we made a drive up to Tillamook, Oregon. With the main intention of visiting the Tillamook Creamery. Also known as Heaven on Earth! We love cheese!

: Entrance to the Tillamook Creamery Visitor Center.

: We were extremely lucky to get here early in the day. There were no lines at the cheese sampling area!

: It’s too bad we didn’t have our photos made in the bus!

: If only they were real floating blocks of cheese. Though, I would imagine it would hurt if they lost their floatability and fell.

: I wish that were our cheese drawer in our home fridge!

: I couldn’t resist this foam block of cheese souvenir!

: It’s incredibly sad that we only brought home one block of the Tillamook 2012 Maker’s Reserve, but, that will just make us enjoy it even more. I’ve never been more excited to cut the cheese in my life!

After spending some time at the Tillamook Creamery and having lunch; We drove back down the coast and stopped alongside several sightseeing spots. Including Depoe Bay, and Cape Foulweather.

: Not a whale, but it reminded me of a whale.

: One of many souvenir shops in Depoe Bay. I couldn’t resist buying a boat.

: The color of the water really intrigued me.

: From this vantage point, one could pretend they were on the bridge of a ship and in command.

: Wouldn’t you love to have a window in your home with that view?

After doing some sightseeing we wanted some dinner. The night before we ate at Mo’s in Newport. We weren’t impressed with the atmosphere. Too busy for our liking. We wanted something a little bit more relaxed with more comfortable seating. We found a restaurant called Clearwater. Honestly, this was probably one of the best restaurants we ate at during our entire trip. Highly recommended if you’re in Newport, Oregon.

We did have some pre-dinner entertainment.
