Oregon Coast Get-a-Way

If you are a devout follower of my blog you will remember that for Christmas Ryan surprised me with tickets to see Wicked in Chicago and an outfit to boot!  If you haven't read that blog post you should go back and check it out.  It was so much fun and I was so surprised.  Anyways maybe you were wondering what did Sarah get for Ryan?  That is a fantastic question!  I bought Ryan a weekend      get- a -way to the Oregon Coast.  We dropped Roscoe off at the "grandparents" and headed down PCH to Depoe Bay, Oregon.  Our first stop was Oregon Wine Country.  Last year Ryan had an amazing opportunity to attend OPC - Oregon Pinot Camp.  It was a great opportunity to learn more about the amazing Oregon wines and meet several winemakers from Oregon.  One of those winemaker was from the AMAZING Domaine Drouhin.  A quick stop by the winery and buying a bottle of wine was a must!


View from the winery tasting room out onto the vineyard, WOW!

 We continued on our way down the road to lovely little Depoe Bay, Oregon to The Harbor Lights Inn.  A very cute small hotel run by a husband and wife who even cook breakfast in the morning for all the guests.  Needless to say Ryan and I had a very relaxing weekend and enjoyed beautiful views from the coast.  This was a very different beach experience for me as I really have only been to more tropical beaches.  But I think these beaches are even more beautiful!  We shopped, ate lots of fresh seafood, walked on the beaches ,visited Rouge brewery, went to art galleries and relaxed and read books.  A great trip!

Just one of the amazing Oregon coast beaches


I love the contrast between the rough edges of the rocks and the pristine water


These black rock bluffs are amazing!




Wow!  It looks like they are sprouting right from the middle of the beach



So cute!  Sarah and Ryan on the beach!

The view from our last dinner at Whale's Cove Inn just south of our hotel, breath taking!
