The forecast for this weekend looked good (at least on Friday!), so we decided to plan for a trip to the Oregon coast. We haven't been there for a while (maybe last summer??), so it was time! Billie and Maggie wanted to come as well, but unfortunately something came up yesterday, so Billie had to cancel. Well, this won't be the last time I'm sure. Hopefully they can join us next time.
We decided to drive to Tillamook for lunch. Well, turns out that Tillamook is pretty much dead on a Sunday at noon. All the restaurants (at least the ones we found) were closed. So we ended up stopping at Safeway.After all, we had awesome food yesterday, and today we came for the beach, not the food.
When we arrived at Bayocean Peninsula County Park it started raining! Can you believe it!! That didn't stop us, of course, and we happily headed for the beach. The rain didn't last long, and while we got a little wet, it dried off within the first half hour or so. We even got sunshine toward the end. What a great day, we should do that more often!
This is shortly after our arrival. A shame that we couldn't take a video (I left my cell phone in the car since it was raining). Pepper was pure joy on legs. He couldn't get fast enough from one spot to another. So many smells, so many things to explore.
Oh yeah, it was raining. But who cares :).
A sequence of Awesome Recall (with capital A!!).
Beautiful nature (even with a little bit of sunshine).
Found a starfish (dead, unfortunately).
And posing with the pooch for a nice picture. The first one - not so nice (but funny). Pepper had just given me a big smooch right on the kisser. Yikes (hehe).
And more views of the beach (this time with LOTS of sunshine).
Pepper was pretty hesitant when it came to the water. He liked sniffing near the water's edge, but actually going in there - no way! So, we played a lot in the inch high water. He ran away from the incoming waves (hilarious!), but did enjoy walking and running in the shallow water.
Heading back across the dunes to the parking lot. Love the Oregon coast!
One last look back, and off to the car it is!
Tired pooch (hard to see because of the screen from his car kennel) and happy hubby.
