Depoe Bay Vacation, Day Five

Last full day.  Did a little art shopping and then off to the beach.  The boys were finally able to do their reengineering of the creek.  Grandpa supplied the shovels.  Weather was great, actually warm and sunny for a change.

Here are some images from the Forgerty Beach. This beach is a favorite of the boys. We like it too because it is protected from the wind most of the time.  Plus, it is generally uncrowded.  The boys like the creek and they try to divert it when they can.  Water in the creek was a little high so the project was small this time.

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.

Depoe Bay Vacation, Day One (Update)

Can’t promise that I will blog about the vacation each day, but will try to keep up. I am sharing a single computer with five other folks and my time limited.

Today was the first day of our vacation. My wife, mom, and my sister went looking for glass floats. I have included an image of the float she found.
