our little get away...

I havent had a chance to post what we did for the first weekend of Spring Break. It wasnt all hard work the whole time.

Dennis and I dropped the kiddos off in Canby and went to Lincoln City for a night.

First we actually went down to Depot Bay and braved the open sea for a whale watching tour...

 

This is the boat we went on. We didnt get to see any whales, but the ocean was so rough, it made the boat ride fun. We want to go do it again, and hopefully see whales, but it was fun to go out there anyway.

 

We headed back up to Lincoln City for an afternoon of shopping and site seeing.

Checked in to our motel, and this was our view!! Amazing view!

 

If you are ever looking for a great hotel to stay at in Lincoln City, I highly recommend the Coho Inn! The room was gorgeous!!

Giant King size bed!!

 

Fancy TV!



Private balcony!


Gas Fireplace!! I was soooo in love with this!


Jacuzzi tub!!


The picture of the balcony was actually taken from the Jacuzzi tub! Yes you could see the ocean from the tub! Dreamy!

Another recommendation.... Blackfish Grill!! Yum! A very cute place, with quality service, and a fresh menu!

Our appetizer.. flatbread pizza with capicolla ham, wild mushrooms, and walnuts. I loved it! Dennis could take it or leave it. But trust me... it rocked!!


My entree. Alaskan Halibut, blackened, with roasted fingerling potatos, and brazed golden beets. The sauce was kinda like a seedy mustard sauce. The fish was freakin amazing!! Best Halibut I have EVER had!!


Den's Rockfish fish and chips. He always orders fish and chips when we are at the beach! I have to say, its not the best fish and chips... but good. The price was right though! I think it was like $11.


DO NOT leave the Blackfish without dessert. They have a selection of desserts but the chef is known for making these homemade Ding Dongs!!!



Check them out! My mouth is watering for them now... that chocolate sponge cake, home made whipped cream.... droool..


Isnt it sad that I take more pictures of my food, than I do anything else??

We spent a little time at the casino that night, doubled our money, so it was time to run.

I went down to the fitness room at the hotel and did my run the next morning. It was a good run, with the exception of the location of the fitness room. In the same building as the pool, hottub, and sauna. It was a scorcher!! Hot and humid. Needless to say, I was sweating profusely! Dennis couldnt help but laugh.

Breakfast was free at the hotel and it was lovely! (sorry no pics of breakfast...)

It was so hard to leave that day, we had such a good time relaxing, and enjoying our room and the ocean. Cant wait to go back!
