Newport
In early April we spent another wonderful weekend on the Central Oregon Coast. This time we stayed at Newport’s Hallmark Inn, a truly class act.
The first evening it was partially sunny. We enjoyed a nice walk on the sandy beach to the Nye Beach area. Folks had kites in the air joined by many flying seagulls.
On Saturday the Bayfront beckoned us. It’s always a colorful, eclectic spot. And, these days the many vocal sea lions are hard to miss.
Driving home on Sunday, I marveled at the variety of things to experience in the Pacific Northwest.

One visit there we could see whales traveling north from our room at the Hallmark. It was a real unexpected treat.
Wow! That would be a treat.
Newport is awesome. Thanks for taking me along for your visit!
