Day 005 - Garibaldi to Coos Bay

Day #2 of work/school on the road. It didn't go as smoothly as I wanted it to. Hopefully it will smooth out and we will all get the school/work we need to get done done!
We drove down the coast... 
it is absolutely beautiful.
In researching things to do a friend suggested checking out the Sea Lion Caves near Florence, OR.
I checked it out and with covid and Oregon getting shut-down again it looked like we wouldn't be able to see the sea lions.
But lucky us, as we drove by there were people in the parking lot so we went and checked it out and they were letting people in... not many at a time, but we were able to get in. There was only one sea lion in the cave... a big boy.
The others were lounging on the rocks. To get to the caves you had to take an elevator 215 feet down into the caves.
Maria did not like being down there.
They were trying to find the rock-nob that would lead to the secret lair in the caves.
We made it to Coos Bay.
We filled up with gas...for the second time and our first time in Oregon. For dinner tonight Maria & I had salad. Cooper decided that he wanted spam and rice. So he got an individual size package of spam and a microwavable bag of rice.
He loved the spam, but wasn't too fond of the microwave rice. Popcorn for dessert and the Netflix movie of The Mitchells vs The Machines.... and a little more work for me! 

Maria: Today we went to a sea lion place. There was an above ground place and we saw lots of sea lions and heard there call only three of them were moving the rest of them looked like they were dead. The only ones that were moving were a baby and 2 adults. Then we went 215 feet undergrond so 215 rulers. After we got to the hotel we went to walmart to get dinner and I got a book called "HAWK" by James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet. It is really good.It is also a seaql to "The angel experiment'MAXIMUM RIDE". Its is about a girl named Hawk (she does not know her real name) who Faught to save the world but disappeared. She does not remember anything But can remember faces really well. She waits for her parents at the same place every day. There a Quote in the dust jacket that says "BUT ITS NOT A RESCUE MISSION." "IT'S AN EXECUTION." And I thought that was really cool. So far i have read the prologue and it is cool.


 Cooper:So it was the third best day of my life!I got a seal stuffy named ozzy,we saw a sea lion up close,and last but least WE...drove.For four hours!FOUR HOURS!Well at least it wasn't boring.We got to watch a movie... And thats it.ok.also dear tree have a good day.P.S.this is meant for you nana.

Day 002 - Port Angeles to Aberdeen

Image
Woke up this morning to a beautiful day. We busted out our electric frying pan and had eggs and toast for breakfast.  I think that the electric frying pan is going to be one of the greatest way we save $$. We haven't gone out to eat yet!  We checked out of the hotel and headed to Ediz Hook Spit.  We were going to try Geocaching.... but appararently I need to figure out what its all about because we couldn't figure it out. The spit was pretty cool though.  There was a plaque celebrating the international swim of Bert Thomas from Port Angeles to Victoria, BC. It took him 11 hours and 10 minutes to swim the 18.3 miles.  Cooper loved the waves and Maria enjoyed finding flat rocks to try and skip.... but with the waves skipping stones was hard.  We then went to Crescent Lake... and things didn't go as planned.   I wanted to do a hike along the Spruce Railroad Trail to the Devil's Pu...

Day 023 - Mesa Verde - Maria

     A few days ago we went to Mesa Verde. Mesa Verde Is a historic site. It is a cliff that has lots of little to big buildings. I think that their windows are very square. They used every single rock they could find. The rocks from big to medium to small to pebbles. They had to climb down off the cliff to get to the buildings.     Some of the buildings have most of the walls but some of them have just one. We also went into a building that has sort of like a skeleton/ base of the house. They had to climb down into the top of the house by a latter.      We listened to a self guided audio tour that said “I can Imagine people partying, dancing, playing music” and I tried to Imagine it. I Imagined that it was in a parlor sort of place. The entire thing took about 45 minutes to an hour. I think Mesa Verde was a really cool experience.

Day 004 - Seaside to Garibaldi

Happy Monday! Today was the first day of a 'normal' day on the road. Meaning that work and school had to happen. I had a meeting with my boss this morning and we went over plans for the upcoming week. Maria and Cooper did their individual school... we have yet to do 'family school' but we did go on quite a few field trips today. After work/school and checking out of our room we headed over to the Seaside Aquarium. So much fun! They have harbor seals that have attitude. They were so great. They would slap their fins, splash the water, or point to their mouths with their flippers to show you where they wanted the little fishies thrown. There is also a couple of pools where you can touch starfish, anemonies, and sand dollars. I had never seen a sand dollar move before... it was pretty cool. I remember when I was a kid we went somewhere and there was a pool where we could touch sea animals and I rem...
