After a full week of wedding planning, my fiancé and I decided it was time to take a trip up the coast to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. It was to be a wedding free overnighter, so I purposely left the wedding planning book back at the in-laws residence. We drove a good portion of the day on Saturday, stopping to see a lighthouse here and there (Heceta Head and Umpqua River) and Lighthouse), a gusty beach full of saw grass dunes along the Oregon Dunes National Recreational Area, and hiking a bit to work up an appetite for enjoying some fabulous fish and chips at the International C-Food Market in Florence before looking for a hotel vacancy in which to get some rest. It was so nice to get away and not think about anything but the beauty of this great state for a while. After a refreshing night’s sleep, we hit the Sunday brunch at our hotel, the Adobe Resort , in Yachats, whose restaurant is situated overlooking the crashing Pacific waves on the rocky shore just beyond it and enjoyed Belgium waffles with a strawberry compote and whipped cream as part of a beautifully presented brunch buffet. Upon filling our bellies, we reluctantly headed inland to begin planning for our big day once again. The largest part of the wedding has not even been considered in any detail yet, and that would be the catering. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but it will all be worth it to finally say “I do” to my sweetheart and begin our lives together.

Hope you had time to stop in Newport for a cold one at the Rogue Pub House. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
We drove right by, thought about it, but had to keep moving to get where we wanted to be by the end of the day (pictures at the lighthouse with a new camera when the evening light is just right), but it's much easier here to pick up my favorite Rogue Ale (Shakespeare Stout) at the local grocery store, so we have done that already! Looking forward to having a Rogue with you here next year! :-)
