Step1 of Winter: Go to coast

As the weather gets cold and our motorcycle goes into hibernation, we turn our adventures westward and head to the coast for our getaways. We took off Saturday morning and had a beautiful drive through the fog, looking at every fall color imaginable until we found the perfect amber hue....
We love to go to Newport and stopped to check in at the Rogue pub before heading to our hotel.
As luck would have it, we found bartender Chris there and had a couple beers before we retreated to our hotel for a dip in the pool.
We rested and cleaned up and headed out for a delicious dinner.
I think Jesus is taking a drink of my beer.
We met up with Chris at the Rogue brewery after his pub shift to continue our evening...
Sam was there too and got to hang out after she was done working!
As you may have guessed from the pictures of shenanigans in the last post, we had fun.
After the Rogue closed, we packed it up to head to another fun little bar, where the boys took part in some karaoke.
so fun. I love awesome friends.
We headed home, but I forgot my bag, so JJ and I had to come back to get it. This lady had been following John around all night and begging him to sing with her. He finally had no choice but to give in. Later, she followed him around and told him he was an ass. I think she was flirting.
As luck would have it, Chris mentioned that there still might be a few Chanterelles lurking about and he picked us up the next morning and we strolled though the woods...
Victory! (and right now, all of John's family gets a little jealous...)
We had a relaxing drive home, again with the fog and beautiful fall colors. and the ubiquitous seagull at all the stops..
I even got to ride a horse :)
We love you, coast, see you soon.
