The Oregon coast

There's a very good reason Stephanie Mayer picked the northwest coast for her vampire world.
There's something about the air, the forests and even the moss that speaks of age and mystery. It's positively sparkling...

We took a trip out there as a way to celebrate Kimball's birthday, my birthday, our anniversary and Lois' birthday that all happen within the same 30 day window. I don't know how that worked out...

Oregon is beautiful. It looks a lot like Sweden except there's more moss. I love moss.
The beaches are long and wide with curious rock formations in the ocean close to shore. We drove from Portland to Tillamook and on to Pacific City, a small costal town with an awesome beach.
We fell in love and did as we always do when we visit a new place: hit up the local real estate office.
Best way to get to know an area you've never been to. I highly recommend it!
Other places that were fantastic too were Lincoln City and Cannon Beach. Early spring is the best time to go. Less people, good chance of good weather and low tides.
