Before Dave went to sea for his first 6-month term for his Deck Officer Cadet Program, we took one last special, romantic (but whirlwind...*LOL*) trip to Oregon state in the US. We drove along the Washington coast, and it was nothing short of AMAZING...*GRIN* Here's some memories from our trip...

This is kinduva kewl picture from our hotel room balcony in Astoria, Oregon. What's interesting about this bridge is that on the far side, it's Washington...and on our side, it's Oregon! Kinda neat that the view we're looking at on the other side is a different state...*HEE HEE*
And here we are looking the other way from our hotel room balcony. I believe it was the Red Lion Inn where we stayed, just for one night...and it's such a picturesque place right on the water, as you can see! I wish I'd taken more shots of the town itself though, because it's a PHENOMENAL place. Dave and I have talked often of coming here again!
Aren't these rock formations amazing???! I was absolutely floored by their stature (the picture doesn't really do them justice), and it's no small wonder that Dave wanted me to see them! If it wasn't so darned cold that day, it would've been kewl to see them up close...
Finally, a picture of my sweetie at the beach on the Oregon coast...yep, that's the Pacific Ocean behind him! I'm not sure if the expression on Dave's face shows it too well here, but it was FREAKIN' FREEZING that day! *LOL* We couldn't stand being out of the car for more than about two minutes!
Man, this picture really says it all about how absolutely GORGEOUS the long, sandy beaches are here in Oregon...it goes on as far as the eye can see! This picture was taken from a viewpoint along the coastal highway...and again it was a situation where we were only able to tolerate being out of the car for a minute, 'cuz that cold ocean breeze was VERY strong...but it was TOTALLY worth it. I think we'll definitely come back when it's a little warmer next time, so we can enjoy it more! *LOL*
In the meantime...for s'more pictures of us, don't miss my other "PalmTree's Love" picture pages:
