25-28 May 2012, took a road trip with my friend down Hwy 101 to Tillamook, OR., Lincoln City, OR., Depoe Bay, OR., and Newport, OR. We traveled the West Coast in my new convertible stopping, sightseeing, and staying the nights. In Tillamook we visited the Tillamook Cheese Factory learning a bit and sampling the cheese. Next we traveled to Lincoln City and ate at Dory's Cove and Mo's, went shopping at a true outlet, and seen a new movie in an old theatre (Bijou). In Newport we went to the Undersea Gardens and seen many sea creatures and watched a feeding and quick lesson show then stopped by the north lighthouse for a look before heading back to Depoe Bay. Lastly, in Depoe Bay we stayed for the Memorial Day "Fleet of Flowers" where they had a ceremony and the Coast Guard as well as many other private boats went out about 1/4 - 1/2 a mile out in a circular formation and placed flowers in the water "mourning the death of loved ones; especially those who lost their lives at sea, or who were buried at sea.
