It was a trip to celebrate sister Elena's 50th birthday and Noor's and mine 5th wedding anniversary. We started our trip in Cannon Beach and celebrated with Elena, sisters and friends.
The next day after a hike in Ecola Beach we proceeded down the coast on our way to Yachats. We stopped at this beautiful beach somewhere near Newport.
I'm not sure if this was Devil's Punchbowl but it definitely had a lot of high waves splashing against the rocks.
Noor checked out the view near Heceta Head Lighthouse. After a short stop to look at the sea lions we headed east from Florence to visit my ex-in-laws in Eugene.
We stayed the night at Bob and Norma's on their 3 acres of forested land just outside of Eugene proper.
We visited the rhododendron gardens in Eugene.
I'm holding a sign that was attached to the tree that says "no hanging from this branch."
