What a beautiful day..a perfect day for some sightseeing!
Mom & Dad picked us up this morning, and we took a drive north.
We ambled up through Tillamook, and just north of Tillamook Bay,

It even has a 'G' up on the mountain..
One of the main attractions is the
For $17 each (senior discount!) we had a nice 1 hour roundtrip ride along the coast.
The train is a steam locomotive, and travels from Garibaldi to Rockaway Beach.
There are closed cars to ride in, but also some open cars too.
Since it was such a nice day, we decided to sit in the open car.
The scenery was spectacular!
When we got to Rockaway Beach, we found a great little place to eat..
Grumpy's!
We had great sandwiches..
and met Grumpy :-)
We had a great time..the day was perfect, the company even better :-)
You make me smile everytime I read a new post of yours because you bring back wonderful memories in my life. There was a little café on at the Garibaldi Marina that had the best clam Chowder. And also in Rockaway, we use to frequent a restaurant on Sundays after church that had wonderful Chicken dinners.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't wait to get to that cafe in the Marina…I could alread taste the food from what I had read about it. It was closed. :( Loved my time in Garibaldi, Loved the dock that goes out into the bay. Thanks for writing and bringing back great memories.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures from your train ride. Sounds like a perfect day with people you love. That's what memories are made of.
ReplyDeleteWe did that train ride a couple of years ago with our granddaughters. It was a fantastic time, we still talk about it.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't take pictures fast enough, so much to see. :c)
Will have to add this train ride to our list. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love train rides and the Oregon Coast, can't imagin a better combination.
