Oregon Coast - Day 3: Tillamook, Kelly's Marina, & Beach

After Cape Mears, we made a brief stop at Tillamook Cheese Factory for a few quick cheese samples...

...and of course, ICE CREAM!

We had friends from Boise who were also in Tillamook County, some were camped just two sites away from us, and all of us had agreed to meet up for dinner at Kelly's Marina for fresh crab and oysters.

The boys had fun playing with their friends, three other little boys about their age...and Greta was all smiles, just hanging out with the big people.

Since we'd had a later lunch, we weren't starving - so we just had one Dungeness crab and a dozen cooked oysters ~ and they were delicious! My hands were occupied with feeding Greta, so Gary took on the task of carving all the scrumptious meat out of the crab and oysters for us all to enjoy.

Yummy!

Grayson enjoyed looking at all the sea creatures in the nearby tanks, especially the starfish.



There were all kinds of sea creatures to see.

This is the same marina where we camped our last two nights last year. It too is becoming a traditional stop on our trips to the coast.

Once back at our campsite, we decided to take an evening stroll down to the beach.











The perfect end to another perfect day at the coast.
