Oregon

January 2nd to 5th

After resting in Grants Pass, OR we made it to the Pacific again and stayed at the Rogue Brewery Bed & Beer (instead of Bed & Breakfast) in Newport, OR where we were treated to two bombers and pint glasses upon arrival. The B&B is located above the original Brewpub. Here's Meg enjoying our first sample of fresh seafood at the brewery: clam chowder, halibut tacos, mussels, and cioppino. We washed that down with freshly brewed draught beer. Heaven is on Earth, somewheres.

Goose was not too sure if she liked the sea lions in the bay. We had long talks about them to explain that they were like deer, except they lived in the water, and made loud "Ar-Ar" sounds, and were much fatter, and slower on land. She was much happier when we continued on our morning run.



Wine tasting in the Willamette Valley, OR. Known for their Pinot Noir, Meg was enjoying her favorite grape... juiced..... and fermented. Goose hung out too in the tasting room, and the offices. She couldn't get away with that in Napa!!!
Next stop: Olympia, Washington
