Mike and Patty visit Newport

Monday evening Mike and Patty, the friends we stayed with in Fair Oaks, CA, came by on their way to Seattle.

Monday night Mike went with us to Georgie’s for dinner.  Patty was recovering from a bad cough so she stayed home to rest.

Tuesday we got up and got ready to go to lunch and site seeing.  We ate at the Chalet which is also known as the Pie Shoppe.

 

Then we drove up to Yaquina Head Lighthouse so Mike and Patty could see the dock from the Japanese tsunami.  I caught Patty and Mike trying to take a picture of themselves with her phone. 

The seals today were on a different rock because the tide was in.

Tuesday night we all went to Nana’s for dinner.  Patty and I got the chicken pot pies, Wayne got the traditional corned beef and cabbage and Mike got fish and chips.  

Wednesday Patty and I went shopping and the men went to the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum to see the Spruce Goose.  That is it’s own separate blog.  We found this darling boutique and sent a picture to Emily of a top that we thought she would like. 

 

We also found another dress for me to wear to my granddaughter’s wedding in December.

Wednesday night we went to the Green Gables Italian Restaurant for “All you can eat spaghetti.”  Yum.

Patty and Mike went walking on beach both Thursday and Friday mornings.  They walked all the way down to the dock both days. Friday morning Mike got interviewed by a TV reporter about what they should do with the dock.  He thinks they should make it into a bar.

Friday evening we drove to Lincoln City to have dinner at the Chinook Winds Casino.  When we got there we had to wait for a seat so we went to the restaurant/bar and had cocktails.

After dinner at the buffet we drove over to the little theatre to see the play “The Pearl.”  It was a fun play about mermaids who had rescued sailors and then fallen in love with them and become human.

 

Patty and Mike left Saturday morning for Seattle.  One last picture of the four of us.
