Day two of our vacation (September 3) was spent driving down the coast from Newport to Coos Bay. After a leisurely morning in the hotel, we drove around Newport a little, then headed south stopping wherever we felt like it. Our favorite stop was for lunch. We randomly chose Honeyman State Park and LOVED it! It has three fresh water lakes that are just on the other side of the sand dunes from the ocean. The small one we chose had beautiful, clean water that the Ranger told us was 65 degrees! They had pedal boats and canoes to rent (we chose the pedal boat), a beautiful little beach with a swimming area and dock to swim out to. At one point, Kyle actually swam across the lake, hiked a little around the campground area and up onto a sand dune, then swam back to us. Here, again, are too many pictures. (Sorry they're out of order; I haven't figured out how to upload them in the right order yet...the picture upload is kind of a pain for me. Suggestions, anyone?)

After a full day of driving and playing, we ended at Sunset Beach, a beautiful state park just outside of Coos Bay. We had our first experience staying in a yurt and loved it as well. Talk about a great way to camp: beds, a heater, and lights all in a cute, round tent house! All in a regular campground. We are definitely hoping to take advantage of that again.
