Darren’s brother missed out on the 250 Glass Sand Dollar Drop in Lincoln City, Oregon from feeling sick on the morning he was supposed to drive up – however, we were able to take Monday off and drive half way to meet him. 

We drove to Yachats to meet -  then drove a bit further south to  play around Cape Perpetua.

We happened on a beach south of the visitor’s center, a family was already there playing in the low tide.  I took out my new kite and let it soar to the end of the line, as there were no other obstructions to be concerned with. It was Glorious! Tookie took a walk with Nate, my oldest, Darren took a walk with Jonathan, and I took a walk with my kite. 🙂

When we first hit the beach – Darren found a Sand Dollar.  Then each of us in turn found one, and the race down the beach was on! All in all – we collected 13 sand dollars to take home to bleach and display. 

The scenery is indescribable, even in photos. My favorite is driving 2 miles straight up the hill to the top of Cape Perpetua for the view. Wow.  My favorite time was collecting my kite off the beach, and spotting a red rock crab being swayed back and forth by the tide – I adjusted it to take a photo, thinking  it dead – when it MOVED! I screeched a little. More like a small mouse than a scared girl.

Another GLORIOUSLY sunny day in the middle of February! Here is a collage for you:
