The last 2 days of our Oregon road trip was mostly on Hwy 101 as we were welcomed back into Oregon.
Soon we were viewing the beautiful rocky Pacific coastline during intermittent sunshine...Angie earned the title, Chappie, since she was our official chaperone and driver. Most of the time she was "Happy Chappie"; occasionally she was not.
When we started out from Cali on that Saturday morning she was elated and announced, "Let's play the alphabet game". Tyler said nah and from the backseat I replied, No. (I was tired, there weren't many signs around and I just wanted to sit in silence.) She was first alarmed and then started laughing; said she always wanted to announce that and had never played the game; said she was deflated, but then we all laughed and laughed at our replies.

The wind she was a-blown....
But that didn't stop the yoggies.

Young folks adventure of the weekend....Dune buggy ride
Heading out to 20 miles of sand dunes....
Gram G checking out sand samples from around the world while waiting for the thrill seekers to return.Looking over exotic rocks
board wouldn't slide.
There's a fine skill in waxing the board just right...
Very exhausting trying to walk up the sand....
Sunday, our last night on the road....
We surprised a camouflaged bug on our motel siding at the Dublin House Inn...I think it is forever traumatized
Happy Chappie and cousin, Tyler
