Lincoln City

On friday Eric, Drew, Luka, Oliver (Drew's dog) and I drove down to Lincoln City, OR and stayed at "Charlies Place" (beach-house) with Fern, Russ, Brooke, Brian, and their friends. The last stretch of the drive from Portland into Lincoln City is incredible... rolling hills, hazelnut orchards, vineyards, farms, etc. By the time we arrived it was already dark, so we could barely see the ocean. But, the next morning we had an amazing view from our window... a nice surprise to wake up to. After having breakfast with everyone we took Luka for a walk. He loved the sea gulls and the watching the tide roll in and out, and the erie sea foam creeping slowly across the sand. He also saw two horses walking along the beach. It was nice and sunny, but cool. It was such a fun trip... and I was happy to be near the ocean. Fern wanted us to stay another night, but we kind of wanted to get Luka back home to his own room and own bed (we didn't sleep very well), so we left before dinner. I'm looking forward to more trips like this!
