So THAT'S the Pacific Ocean!

 On the 24th we took the boys for a little drive, we headed for the coast. This would be Penny's first look at the Pacific Ocean, Squeaky's too for that matter, and Wonder, well it would be his first sniff of the Pacific.

  Our first stop was Road's End State Park in Lincoln City. We took Squeaky down on the beach, he loved running across the sand chasing seagulls.

  From there we headed south to Boiler Bay State Wayside near Depoe Bay.

  Further south we stopped in Newport and visited the Yaquina Bay State Recreation Site and Lighthouse.

 As this was Penny's first look at the Pacific, I asked her if the Atlantic coastline offered similar vistas. She said she'd never seen anyting like them and she's been from Virginia to Florida on the east coast.

  All in all a very good day!
