Pacific Northwest Day 3

On our drive from Klamath Falls to Depoe Bay we stopped at the Wildlife Safari in Winston, Oregon to help break up all the driving.  Even though the Safari Drive Through (1 1/2 hours to drive through all of it) looked like a lot a fun, we only wanted to visit the Safari Village to enjoy our break.  It was free, had a place to eat, had a playground, and had lots of areas to explore.  I was surprised at how many different animals you could view for no charge (over 300 according to their brochure, although we didn't see quite that many).  There was even a little push-cart for Ciera to ride in that was also free, which she absolutely loved.





We couldn't leave without taking the train ride.  Camden was a little disappointed that it was slower than the one at Hogle Zoo.  He did have lots of fun pretending to shoot storm troopers and walkers (Star Wars) throughout the ride.  Ciera was thrilled with it.  She kept saying "train ride" and wanted to sit all by herself.



Once we arrived at Depoe Bay, we let the kids watch a movie while we unpacked.  Then we visited Devil's Punch Bowl (formed by the collapse of the roof over two sea caves) and grabbed some dinner.  Back at the timeshare, we enjoyed the view from our windows and played some boardgames.  I loved leaving the sliding door to our bedroom open a little (we were on the top floor with an enclosed balcony) to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean and the waves crashing up against the rocks and to smell the fresh sea air.
