Newport

Our next stop was the city of Eugene.

(nothing cures a headache and achy body from driving all day like pizza...and we were pretty psyched about watching cable t.v.)

Instead of spending the day in Eugene, we decided to take a day trip to Newport so we could see the Pacific ocean. It didn't really look like the same Pacific ocean we saw in Hawaii, 

but apparently it is. 

It was cold, rainy, and windy until we came to the beach. 

Then, as if on cue, the sun came out and the clouds cleared for a brief moment.
