(318) Central Coast Photos

This weekend was our annual trip to the coast with Cara & Marcus. This year we were joined by Brandon, Jen & Joe, and Cami & Matt. Friday night was packed with fun including BBQ & drinks, Wii action, and a walk on the beach in the perfectly still night. The moon was clear, it was perhaps the best evening I have ever seen on the Oregon coast. Incredible.


Saturday morning Cara cooked a delicious brunch with overnight French toast, bacon, sausage, and fruit salad. After the splendid breakfast it was time to head out. I decided we should go into Newport!


Where better to start the day than a creepy pirate village? After roaming the strange buildings and statues. Only those who attended will understand the humor behind Greg's oh so innocent expression below:


Most of the stores were lame and strange, but we found a few studios that were neat. One glass studio (Pyromania) caught our fascination for a bit here is a snapshot of one of the pieces:


The group then split off and half went to the Hatfield Science Center while Cara, Marcus, and I went to take photos. See how cute is that! They are both learning how to use their new Nikon cameras...like two peas in a pod:



Our first stop was to take shots of the bridge with a stop at the Yaquina lighthouse as destination two (the oldest house in Newport):


On the way we were distracted by some flowers and I think perhaps my most interesting shots of the day:


At lunch we met up with Greg and ate at the Rogue Brewery.


Then headed up to the other Yaquina Lighthouse and check out the tide pools at low tide for sea creatures.


The night was stormy so it ended our photo taking, but all-in-all it was a blast and we agreed that the next beautiful sunset in Portland the three of us were on for another photo session!
