Day 3 of Pacific Northwest

Day 3 of #gainesgeauxtothepacificnorthwest Happy Easter from the Oregon Coast! We had a leisurely morning and watched David Gaines on tv. We then stopped by the Tillamook creamery for the tour and tasting. We had cheese and ice cream and we bought some to go to enjoy the rest of the trip. Luckily they sold ice packs and lunchboxes to pack it all in. After lunch we did a whale cruise in Depoe Bay which is the whale viewing capital of the world. Thankfully it was only an hour tour and we saw several whales because it was rocky and I’ll gladly never do that again. 🐳🐳








 







Day 2 of Pacific Northwest

Day 2 of #gainesgeauxtothepacificnorthwest we started our morning visiting the west coasts oldest privately owned aquarium. We fed the seals and they drenched Aaron because he wasn’t feeding them fast enough. Next stop was Ecola State Park where we did a little hiking and watched people surf. We headed to lunch in Canon Beach at Ecola seafood. We stopped at Haystock Rock where we caught a glimpse of a bald eagle at the very top and got our shoes soaking wet in the high tide coming in. We found a fish hatchery … don’t ask me why.. we just happened upon it. We made it to our Airbnb on the beach and went for a snack at the Original Pronto Pup.








 








Day 1 of Pacific Northwest

Day 1 of #gainesgeauxtothepacificnorthwest started our morning with Multnomah Falls outside Portland and then it was time for lunch at the Berry Patch. They had about 20 different types of pie so we just told the waitress to surprise us. The Gaines family never says no to pie. After lunch we headed to Astoria for all things Goonies. We crossed the bridge into Washington State to scratch another state off our list. Avery stuck her foot in the Pacific but only one foot bc 🥶. Tonight we are at a cute retro inn on the beach in Seaside, Oregon. It was unseasonably warm today but I don’t think it will be tomorrow
