Lincoln City

For our anniversary trip and Dustin's break between quarters, we took a little weekend trip to Lincoln City over Easter weekend.

The best way to start a road trip is with an ice cold Sonic (not available in Portland, which is what makes it so exciting!)

We stayed in the exact same room that we stayed in last year, which I loved because it's the jacuzzi room. :)

We spent some great time relaxing at the beach, shopping the outlet, and eating good food.  On Saturday we went on a whale watching boat tour down in Depoe Bay.  It was so cool!  We hadn't seen Life of Pi yet, but I felt like the moment when the whale jumps over the small raft.  Of course it wasn't that dramatic, but it was really cool to be boating right next to a pod of 6-8 whales.  I got soaked on the way out from the Bay. SOAKED.  Good thing it was nice weather and I could laugh about it.

It's a whale! And we're so close to it!

Being at the beach felt like a little piece of heaven.  After such a crazy time at work it was a much needed getaway!
