Spring Break - Oregon 2010

We started our journey with a little six hour drive down to Portland and on the way, it was beautiful so we were able to catch this picture of Mt. Hood while driving

We then visited friends Tom and Julene, they showed us all around the Aurora, OR area (south of Portland area - this included a super neat aviation/space museum). We really enjoyed our stay with Tom and Julene and are meeting back up with them in Tillamook (yes, the cheese town). Earl learned all about "jeweling" so we'll have to post a picture of that as soon as he gets all of his stuff set up for that process.

We then made our way to Newport, OR - this reminded us that we really do miss the coast! Above are a few of the sea lions that make their way from California to hang out on the docks...they look like they have been eating really well! The one on the far right was such a talker he would just start honking away - I think he was a show off.

This is the shop-front in Newport, OR that Earl was able to sell 10 metal crabs. They have all sorts of metal, wood, glass, and other types of art - very cool store/gallery that we both really liked - and the owners were super excited about Earl's metal crabs!
