West Coast Road Trip Part 2 (View Part 1, Part 3)
The drive along the Oregon Coast is absolutely beautiful. Very scarce of people and towns but absolutely breathtaking. When we neared Gold Beach, we passed along an area that we HAD to pull into.

Today is day 1 of our first road trip together! The drive out of Washington was easy enough… except for a certain part where I was driving & the road got a little too windy for my comfort so I had to hand the wheel back over to husband.
Our first sight seeing spot was the Sea Lion Cave in Florence, OR!
