Oregon Vacation Day 2

We woke up about 7:00 the next morning in Baker City, Oregon, got ready, ate our continental breakfast and hit the road for another 6 or so hours of driving. We did stop though to enjoy Multnomah Falls. We had a chance to stop there 3 years ago and it is absolutely the most breathtaking waterfall. Did you know it was used in the Twilight Movie? You didn't? Well now you know.

Multnomah Falls is the second tallest year round waterfall in the nation and it is absolutely amazing!

I love my new camera by the way! It takes amazing photos. The mountain around the waterfall is just covered in beautiful greenery. There isn't a spot in Utah that would look like this.

Wes and the girls in front of the waterfall. The girls loved seeing the waterfall. Adelle would get distracted with her surroundings and tumbled on the trail a couple of times. Funny girl. The girls of course had to have more coins to make more wishes. Adelle's baby joined us on the trip.

Once we made it to Oceanside, Oregon we unpacked the car and headed to the local grocery store in Tillamook. We had the best of intentions of coming right back to our little place and making dinner. We were starving though and ended up eating at this quaint, little cafe. The Three Capes Cafe. Though it was quaint, it wasn't cheap. It is amazing how much money was spent on food during the trip! The food was pretty good though, especially their secret fry dipping sauce. We also got a wonderful tip from the waitress about some sea caves that were only accessible 2 days out of the year and the next day happened to be one of them.

After we put away our groceries we had to head down to the beach to explore. It was chilly so we all wore our coats. There is nothing like the ocean!

The rocks were encrusted with mounds of mussels. It was amazing to see them just hanging out.

In pools there were various other sea creatures as well including anemones.

There is a passageway carved out of a rock that allows you to access the next beach even in high tides.

Adelle picked up shells every chance she got, even if they were tiny fragments.

Three Arch Rocks was very visible from our beach. It actually serves as a National Wildlife Refuge. The rocks provide habitat for Oregon's largest breeding colony of Tufted Puffins. You could see birds flying everywhere around the rocks.

After our exploration we headed back to our rental property up the hill to end our day.
