A Drive Up The Oregon Coast

 

It was so foggy last night in Newport that the pavement was wet like it had rained when we woke up this morning.  First on our agenda was breakfast and we were lucky to find "Fishtails" a nearby cafe that is known for delicious breakfasts.  After eating we started our drive up the coast, going through many small seaside towns; several that we haven't seen before.  The two that we found to be most charming were Wheeler and Nehalem Bay so we're planning a return trip to check them out in more depth.  

Roger hadn't been to the Tillamook Cheese Factory so we stopped to see the production line while it works.  Roger loves ice cream so before leaving we decided to indulge.

This is a "single one scoop" cone

After stopping at a Farmer's Market that sold produce from their farm, our last stop was Seaside where they were hosting an antique car show.  We went to our favorite cafe near the beach for a late lunch with the decision to tour the cars after we ate.  We didn't have to leave our seats because as we were eating they started a parade of cars and since we were at a window table, we just sat there and enjoyed the show.  Perfect timing - plus by then the sun was out and it was a beautiful ending to a great trip to the coast.
