Day 3

Dear Jamey and Jack,

Well, our Internet connections have been few and far between on this trip, so once again it's two days of posts today...

Dad started off yesterday with an appointment while I wandered the streets of Salem. It was super, extra, really hot! Never the less, I had a nice time looking in cute shops and Dad had a good appointment.

Since it was our anniversary, Dad took the rest of the day off. We headed back out to the coast. After eating a late lunch, we decided to check out this lighthouse. It is the tallest lighthouse in Oregon and was used until 1973. Kind of cool, don't you think?

On the walk back to our car from the lighthouse, we saw these rocks out in the ocean. They were covered with squawking birds. And let me tell you, those birds were stinky!

It was time to check-in at our hotel. We found our room and then went on a walk to find the ocean. We climbed down these rickety stairs...

...and wrote our names in the sand. Then we waited until the waves came and erased our letters.

Hungry, we headed off to dinner (thanks for the tip, Aunt Zona--it was delicious). Here's a picture of our hotel. We took the picture from the sidewalk on our way to dinner. It was a homey little inn. We fell asleep listening to the ocean waves.

We sure had a nice anniversary. Can you believe it's been nine years?

I love you!

Love, Mama
