Additional Posts

We added quite a bit this time with our trip to Portland. We then realized that we had not posted our pictures from Bryce Canyon. To make sure that you see all of the pictures, go to the right column and click on any posts that you do not see. The Bryce Canyon posting is under the month of July. Enjoy.

Downtown Portland

During her stay in Portland Fiona went to the haunted Old Town Pizza, however, she was not able to find the ghost of Nina. We also went to Powell's Books, the Saturday Market and VooDoo Doughnuts. Here are a few pictures from our time in downtown Portland. Serenading the fine people of Portland with her new slide whistle. Eating salmon with the bears. Here she is being an otter.

Lincoln City Oregon

We traveled from Portland through Forest Park, which is really a forest right outside the city (however we took no pictures). Then our journey took us through the Tillamook State Forest which had one of the nicest visitor centers we have seen. After that we continued to the Tillamook Cheese Factory and enjoyed some Wild Oregon Blackberry Ice Cream, yum! Then we made it to the coast... We made it to our hotel on the beach in Lincoln City. A "storm" was rolling in but we still had a good time walking on the beach.

Oregon Coast Aquarium - Newport, OR

The last stop on our Oregon trip was at the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, Oregon. Here is Fiona taking us on our tour of the aquarium. We saw Seals and Sea Lions Waiting for a seal to swim by...
