Vacation Day 6

Today we drove from Florence to Lincoln City. We slept in, grabbed breakfast to go, and made the scenic jaunt North. The 101 along the coast is a spectacular drive, and we watched the ocean all the way up.


When we got to Lincoln City, we checked it all out, and found one spot where you could actually drive your vehicle onto the beach. I must admit, I tried to convince Jason that the Coug couldn't make it (heh heh), but he apparently knew better (don't tell him). It was pretty neat. We also hit the Outlet Mall (heh heh) where I bought JEAN! I'll write about them later, but they fit and they were $16.99, so it is possible to find cheap jeans that fit and look good.


The Pacific was cold, but the sand felt heavenly on the feet. We chilaxed on the beach for as long as we could.


For dinner, we hit the restaraunt Pier 101, where we had clams, crab, halibut ... the meal was awesome.


After dinner, we watched the sunset from the Coug parked on the beach. It was spectacular.


We hit the Roadhouse 101, which was just across the street from our hotel, to grab a pint and check the local scene. Unfortunately, the local scene was not there. We were one of only a few people in the entire place, the bar tender ID'd us, so I had to go back to the hotel to get my Driver's License, and we sipped our beers while we were watching the vastness of the empty bar. The bar itself was kind of neat, it had money attached to the roof, not really sure what that was about. Maybe it's better on a Friday or Saturday.

All in all, Lincoln City was a more sedate area that what we're used to. It had lots of shops and miles of beach, but I could tell that Jason already missed the dunes.
