July 2020

For yet another month….Covid 19 seems to be

Calling the shots.

The Vancouver WA waterfront is beautiful.

That’s Oregon across the river.

Brandon and Karen enjoying the sun.

We took a drive up the Columbia Gorge on the Washington side and
stopped for a picnic lunch with a view of
the Bonneville Dam.

We spent two weeks at Champoeg State Park just outside of Newberg, OR.

At Champoeg, we met up with John and Sheri (Mike’s brother in law and his sister)

We had a great time.  It was fun spending time with them.

We also got to spend time with Marc, Maria, Camryn and Colby too.

Next stop was Neskowin Creek at the Oregon Coast.

We are spending two weeks here.

We drove down to Newport one afternoon and hiked out to
the Yaquina Head Lighthouse.
It’s not a working lighthouse and the inside was closed
  to visitors, but we enjoyed the view and history

the lighthouse offers.  Not the best weather that day.

Another day, we walked on the Lincoln City Beach.
Lots of people but everyone seems to be socially distanced.

Beautiful day on the coast.

We met up with Gloria and Len (Gloria is Mike’s cousin)

in Pacific City.  Gloria and Len live fulltime in their motorhome ---
just like us!

We had a great meal…… the freshest fish (just off the dory)
then we went to their park and visited for a while.

Great meet up!
