Newport, OR

My dear friends moved to Newport, OR about a year ago. They had lived in Camano Island, WA and I missed visiting with them  while I'm in WA, so this weekend was a perfect opportunity to go see their place and visit Newport....Roy and Teresa were busy with their Lions Club annual garage sale.

We took a quick tour of the Bay street Pier and drove over the bridge to Agate Cove lighthouse.

Here's Scott and Debby...They're such fun!

And the three of us with Agate Cove in the background

Those little white dots are seal pups-it was such fun watching them!

Westport

Westport is a small town on the Coast of Washington. Our friends Paul and Denise Roberts are workamping at  lovely park called "American Sunset", and Teresa and I thought it was time for a girlie road trip-so off we went! In this picture we're at Grey's Harbor, soaking up the lovely coastal fog......That's Paul on the far left, Teresa in the center and Denise on the right.

Here's the real star of the Robert's family-Duke! He's adorable and we considered a dognapping......

This is the Wesport Maritime  Museum. It  originally housed the U.S. Coast Guard. Westport had two razor clam canneries, and a thriving timber industry, and commercial fishing. 

Now, it's a sleepy little town that relies on tourism and non-commercial fishing. 

This lens was lent to the museum by the Coast Guard...they actually built the facility to house it!
