After our tire debacle, we were extremely happy to arrive at our home for the next few nights - The Coast Cabins in Manzanita. Our cottage had a kitchen and a hot tub, so we were pretty content to stay in and relax.
The next morning, we had to go to Jason's version of heaven - the Tillamook factory! The tour was self-guided and samples were banned due to COVID, but we still go to try plenty of cheese, mac and cheese, ice cream, but cheese curds were the unanimous favorite!
That afternoon, we walked a few blocks to Manzanita Beach for Indy to swim and for us to get some fresh ocean air. The town itself was also super cute!
After another day of relaxing, we drove further south to our next stop - Coos Bay! Now, our drive actually got altered a bit. We had originally planned to head south along the coast, but due to fires, we had to go inland for a while.
We were at least able to stop at Thor's Well and catch some foggy/smoggy ocean views.
We stayed a couple of nights at Bay Point Landing and really loved the vibes! Jason was able to play Bandon Dunes, which he puts as one of his favorite courses of all time, and we had a yummy crab sandwich in Bandon as well.
Honestly, the last part of the trip was super disappointing. We had planned on staying longer and driving down through Mendocino & the Redwoods but the air quality was just terrible, so we were able to cut our trip short and head home. Sad to miss that, but we'll go back!
Up Next: We begin our epic adventure with a road trip to Sequoia & Kings Canyon!
