This is at the Japanese Gardens in Portland that we stopped at on the way back home. They were so pretty and tranquil.
We went to a rainforest called Silverfalls State Park. There were about a dozen waterfalls but we didn't have a lot of time or energy but we hiked into about four of them. We had good pictures of us standing behind a waterfall but I just didn't post that one. The largest one we went to had a big pool beneath it and we went for a little swim.
This is at Cape Perpetua watching the waves.
This was one of the boys favorite places.
One of many beautiful places that we stopped and visited.
This is standing on our balcany in the beach house in Lincoln City. Hopefully the sun was in my eyes because I didn't look too happy in that picture.
Some of the group liked laying in the sand more than going for adventures.
This picture didn't show it at much as I thought it would but there are dozens of seals on the rocks right behind us.
Some of the giant trees on a little hike we went on.
Some more waterfalls.
Howard had heard about a fish hatchery so we went there on the way into Portland. They had giant sturgeon that were over ten feet long. However, the best part was watching WHALES. We probably watched them for about 40 minutes. Everyone was about ready to go when I saw the first one. There spouted and flipped fins and breached out of the water about 15-20 times. It was great!!!
That looks like it was so much fun. This summer has gone by too quick! I am glad you got to go on a fun vacation. The pictures are beautiful
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you guys had a fun trip. I don't think Uncle Byron was that gray last time I saw him. I had to blow up the picture to make sure it was him.
