Glass Floats/Your Name Here?

We've been taking pictures of signs that have names of or mean something to people we know. Search this blog to see if you find a sign that has significance for you!


This morning Syd and I woke up early and went for a walk on the beach. We didn’t find a glass float, but did have fun and a good walk while we looked for it. We talked to one of the locals today who said they may not put them out every day, and also that there are people who stay up all night until people put them out on the beach them come and take ALL of them. What a let down :-(
We drove to Waldport today, and ate at the Salty Dawg near the dock where we go crabbing. We stopped at Whittler’s Workshop and were pleased to see it is still open, it just isn’t open today. Syd said she wanted to drive over a bridge while on vacation. Clay had her drive from Waldport, over the Alsea bridge, to Seal Rock. He sat in the back seat and said, “I could get used to this.“ We drove back to Newport and had to stop at our favorite fudge shop in Seal Rock. There’s an older couple and a lady (possibly their daughter?) who must be the owners - they’re there all the time. Got some fudge for dessert, but it didn’t all last until dessert time. In Newport we hit Pirate’s Plunder, and tried a yarn store, but it was closed on Mondays. From there we visited the Rogue Brewing Company. Clay tried some of their ale, while the rest of us had rootbeer - they make their own there, yum! Then went into town and shopped at the Kite Store where Clay bought a nice sized kite. Make sure to ask when he’s going to fly it when you see him! We got back to the room around 3:30, then Syd and I took a quick trip to find a yarn store in Lincoln City. The store is called Nestucca Bay Yarns. It’s right on Hwy. 101. Very nice shop - so helpful, and the girl working there invited us to their knitting club this Friday night. I hope we have enough time to go there!
Tonight we had crab for dinner in our room. It got windy and rainy as soon as we got to our room, and didn’t let up until after dinner. Once it got back we hurried out to go geocaching. We had two we wanted to find, but couldn’t find the first one. We did find the second one - our first Oregon cache! This was so fun, I want to find more. Going to bed early tonight so we can get up early and head out to Albany in the morning. We’re going to Monmouth to look at a college for Syd there.
I'm getting the hang of this blogging, and really like it. We are having a great time!
