2 Oregon Lighthouses & Inside the RV

Hi and thanks for stopping by.. we had another nice day at the Oregon Coast today.  We had lunch at "Georgie's Grill" which has a great view of the ocean and we've gone there for years.  I had Prawns and D had Halibut Fish & Chips.  Then we headed South to see the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse below.
This is the view right below the lighthouse looking West across the Pacific Ocean.
Heading inland this is the beautiful Yaquina Bay Bridge.
We drove through Historic Bayfront of Newport and got this shot of the bridge from the bay with some fishing boats in front of it.
Heading back into the bay front area, lots of fun shops, galleries, restaurants and candy shops.
Here is a "famous" place, Mo's - known for it's clam chowder.  This is the flagship cafe, now there are Mo's all along the coast.  Her cafe has been a popular place for fishermen and tourists for years.
Then we headed to see my favorite lighthouse - Yaquina Head - and here is a "lava tube" at the point.  See the tunnel on the left? You can see the light through there, it's neat.
Below is the beautiful lighthouse - every time I'm here it has a different look depending on if there is sun or not.
And look what I saw as I was walking up to the lighthouse? A big Osprey on a tree limb and it's nest is also in the same tree to the left.  Ospreys are also known as Fish Hawks - they dive for fish.
This is a further shot of the lighthouse.
I took some shots of the trailer this morning before we headed out.  On the sofa is my rainbow Granny Stripe blanket I crocheted.  We really enjoy the free-standing table and chairs instead of the "booth" in our old trailer.
Here are our recliners and boy are they comfy!
Here is the kitchen, I hung one of my hand-painted clocks that I made and there is my trusty MacBook Pro next to my chair. :-)
Here is our cozy bedroom.
And the view out of our bedroom.  The ocean really is that close!
I saved the best for last. LOL  Our Cairn Terrier, Buddy.  How cute is he?

Thanks for visiting.. we've had such a great time.  Back to reality tomorrow!  Thanks for coming along with us on my birthday trip to the beach.  ((hugs)) Teresa

  3. Teresa, your pictures are gorgeous! I so enjoyed the trip with you. The first lighthouse is amazingly beautiful and what a house. Loved the bridge and ocean pictures. But I can't believe how cozy and perfect your trailer is. I would love to vacation in a trailer and you can get sooooo close to the ocean. Thanks for the lovely time. xoRobin❤

  8. I am so jealous! First you have that wonderful R.V. It is such a nice home away from home. Also, you can easily go to the ocean. We lived in Jacksonville, Fl for a while and Oh I just miss the ocean so much. Even when we lived in Georgia we were only a few hours away.
    Great post and gorgeous pictures.

  14. I enjoyed your photos today. I especially liked the second lighthouse and the peek inside your trailer (which looks enormous!). I like the granny square type balnket you have, is it one of your previous makes? The colours in it are beautiful. Enjoy the rest of your holiday!
