I spent Saturday washing and vacuuming vans at the house. I gave the Ford a quick check-over for Sunday's drive to the coast. Sunday we got up early and went to church, had lunch at McMinnville and travelled on to Lincoln City. After checking in, we went for a walk on the beach, before the rain started.

Then we went to the campground where Jim & Vonnie Lash were camping and had a great dinner with them (Jim BBQ'd). And played cards (it was still raining).
Monday we drove to Newport, OR and met up with Roberta, her Mom (Fran), Jacob, Peter, and Bethany. Close by, we visited the Hatfield Marine Science Center - very interesting! I think the kids really enjoyed touching the live sea animals in the "touch pool". We piled into the two vans and went to Izzy's for lunch. Great to see everyone! Peter and Jacob...thanks for the the "sea rocks".
