Portland, OR – Coos Bay, OR

Distance: 365 kms

Actual Drive Time: 5 hours

Highlights:

• Morning run on the Columbia River with views of Mount Hood
• Reaching the coast and starting our trek down HWY 101
• Lunch at Mo’s in Newport Bay – really cool little fishing town (Will didn’t like the smell – Jay hopes he has Mariner genes in there somewhere)
• Sand Dunes in Florence, OR

Today was largely a driving day.  The kids have both been amazing – fingers crossed it lasts a few more days! We headed from Portland to the coast…finally landing in Coos Bay.  Beautiful views of the coast for most of the afternoon. We found a few places we’d like to stop at on our way back up.  Very exciting to think about the slow trip back and less time on the road 😉

Tomorrow we’ll end up in Eureka, California…after a visit to Redwoods State Park. Making some great memories! xo
