At the coast on the 4th
it was quite nice to have the 4th fall on my day off. We made plans to go to newport to see the fireworks over Yaquina bay. My sister and her family and friends were also going. we left town around 11 and arrived around 12:30. We stopped at the park with the Yaquina lighthouse and i tookl a couple pics of the bay bridge and the view of the jetty's that lead into the bay
Here are my girls looking so cute!
The bridge over Yaquina bay

After that we decided to go to debot bay the worlds smallest harbor. The place to go for gift shops. and salt water taffy
out to see
coast guard coming home
By then we were all getting hungry so it was time to head back to Newport for our picnic lunch. The wind was really cold and that put a little damper on the fun but we went to the beach anyway
South Jetty and some stange kids
a split second before the sun goes away
The fireworks at the end of the day were really awesome and I used the chance to play with my new digital cams settings. I increased the shutter to get a couple shots of the fireworks and the newport bayfront from the southbeach jetty
It took about 2 hours to get home. We spent one 3rd of that time on the jetty bumper to bumper on the jetty waiting our turn to get on the freeway. I was so glad to get home around 1 am
