Depoe Bay Vacation, Day Four

Day Four today. Weather was dicey today. Wind and rain, even a few ice pellets.  Not as bad as over in the valley. Two inches of hail fell in some parts of Portland during rush hour, causing much havoc in the traffic pattern.

Did Mo's today. Got the Chowder Bowl and cheese bread.  Good stuff Maynard!  The wife and my mom picked up their glass creations today.  Interesting art work.  Took the older boy to another tattoo shop. We let him ask the questions this time. He asked the right questions, only needed a little help from his mom. He truly seems interested in doing this.  I am a bit worried that he is going to do something teenager (i.e. stupid) and get it done on the sly.

Depoe Bay Vacation, Day Three

Not much happened yesterday, knid of a down day.  My wife and mom went to a glass fusing class. We pick up their creations today.  The boys spent most day at the pool.  Later, we made our usual trip to the candy shop. Our normal store has closed and the shop is for sale. It was the best, in our opinion.

Today we head to Mo's chowder house for a late lunch. Mo's is another tradition for the clan.  Each time we are down here we go at least once.  Great New England style clam chowder, thick enough to eat with a fork.  Mo's has been a central coast institution for decades. My grandmother (father's mom) and Mo were good friends.  When I was a kid, I'd spend summers with Grandma, and we'd make at trip to Mo's at least once ever two weeks or so.

Depoe Day Vacation, Day Two

Vacation, Day Two. The weather was lousy.  Windy and rainy all day. But we did go out and do some stuff. We went to the Oregon Coast Aquarium which was very nice.  Here are a couple of images.  Click on the picture for a larger image.
