- mountains to our left and ocean to our right
- the Tillamook Cheese factory
- driving by the 35 bazillion cows that produce the milk that makes the cheese for the Tillamook Cheese factory
- jumping the fence at a roadside ocean viewpoint so we could sit on the rocks, watch the waves crash, and feel the ocean spray our faces
- feeding and petting the domesticated squirrels at The Devil’s Punchbowl (and listening to Aaron’s plan to bring Jesus to the people there)
- driving through 83 Tsunami hazard zones
- zooming around in the teeny-tiny Toyota Yaris
- listening to Robbie Seay sing as we drive
- laughing at Aaron and Sean as they try to figure out a way to convince Tonia and me to move to Oregon with them
- passing 13 post offices before we actually stop to mail a bunch of post cards to our family
- figuring out how to pronounce Yachats (fyi: YAH-hots)
- sharing Marionberry Cobbler a la mode with Aaron and Sean at the Historic Drift Inn Café in Yachats
- watching Aaron jump a massive crevice (or crev-ASS as Sean calls it) at the Devil’s Churn
- visiting the Heceta Head lighthouse and capturing some incredible photographs
- picking and eating blackberry after blackberry along the path heading down from the lighthouse until our tongues hurt
- enjoying wine, Tillamook cheese, and fresh blackberries for dinner as we watch the sun set over the Pacific Ocean
Robby Seay's song, Rise, has been a good reminder for me to enjoy everything around me, take it all in, and simply take time to just slow down and refill.
Slow down, be still
Let go, we will
Be here, be now
Slow down, be still
Breathe in, refill
Be here, be now
Slow down, just breathe
Be still, believe
Be here, be now
Slow down and see
It's all you need
Be loved and free
