Oregon - Day 3

VOODOO DONUTS - We saw these donuts on Food Network and needed to try them before our vacation was over. This was the first stop in the morning. They were wonderful. I had the Maple Bar with Bacon on it and James had the chocolate, peanut butter with oreos.
We drove down the coast this morning. It was beautiful! There were a lot of these rocks and a lot of lighthouses.

We stopped by the "Tillamook Cheese Factory" and had some ice cream and saw how they make cheese.
That evening we went on a jet boat excursion. This is downtown right by our hotel. It was an hour long and showed us 10 different bridges. Here are a few I enjoyed.
This is the same builder that later went on to build the San Francisco bridge. You can tell because they look very similar.
For dinner that night we ate at our hotel. It was such a wonderful trip. We enjoyed spending this time together. It felt like we had so much time to do whatever but it also went by fast. We missed Jocelynn so much and couldn't wait to see her. We found ourselves talking about her often.
She had fun with Grandma and Grandma says she did so well. My mom would stay at our house at night and she slept fine. She asked "Where's mommy?" for the first two days. When we dropped my mom off, Jocelynn wasn't happy about that. Thanks mom for doing this for us! I wouldn't mind living in Oregon if family lived there too. There's so much to do. We would love to make this an annual thing to do. There was still so much we didn't do and see. We had the best time. What a great memory!
