Florence, OR
Another incredible way to start out a day is riding a motorcycle along the coast while the sun is shining down on everything around you. Even though I didn’t ride my bike to Yachats yesterday, I made up for it today. Uncle Lyle, my Mom & Dad and I took our bikes along the coast, one of the most incredibly beautiful rides yet, but I’m a sucker for the ocean. We had coffee in Yachats at the Adobe Resort and Restaurant, at a table overlooking the crashing ocean waves.
We didn’t spend too much time in the town since we planned on heading back to Redmond when we finished our ride, but I showed everyone where I had spent my time yesterday. On the way back to Florence, my parents and I decided to stop at the sea lion caves; supposedly the largest Sea Lion Cave in the world. Since it was a gorgeous day, however, all of the sea lions were out sunning themselves on rocks a couple of clicks down the road instead of hanging out in the cave. I know I would be if I were them! We found them there when I stopped to take a couple of coastal photos at an overlook. There were hundreds of sea lions, swimming, sunning & playing around. After we left the cave, we finished our ride back to Florence to meet Aunt Patty & Lyle again.
We packed up our things and headed back home to Redmond, stopping on the way at the small restaurant previously mentioned in yesterdays post. I picked up some literature on the place and took a few photos of it myself. What a fabulous spot.
And now, we’ll be back in Redmond for a while but my parents swear that they’re really heading back to Minnesota this time… So, we’ll see!
