Going to Our Happy Place!

We got up very early and were on the road by 5:15am.
Does this give you a clue on where we are going? It is the bridge at Astoria! We are on our way to Lincoln City!  Yes, we are going to the beach in February!
We stopped at Grandma's in Gearhart for breakfast. It was not as good as it once was, but Lon still loved the chocolate chip pancake.  He ate 3/4 of it this time!
Wheeler. I LOVE this photo. 
Wheeler. We always stop by to use the restrooms, but have never walked around the town.  This time we walked around a bit.
Lon and the bear. We are still in Wheeler
Our first stop in Lincoln City. The beach at the D River.   We HAD to stop by the beach as soon as possible!
Beauty Shot of the beach
Mark thought that since we were in town, we would not find any agates. Mark found a good one right away!
After our little walk on the beach, we went to the outlets and got Lon some new pants. His pants seem to have gotten shorter.  We got him four new pair of pants, two new pair of shoes and a new pair of rain boots.  Then we went to our hotel, checked in and got a late lunch/early dinner.  Then we went back to the beach!
Lon played above the water line.  He was having fun. Mark and I found some agates. I found a blue one!  Then it was back to the room for a hot jacuzzi tub and bed! It was a long and lovely day!
