Aug. 5th, Day-4
We started the day early to hike to the end of Cape Lookout. Its about a 5 miles hike through beautiful, lush greenery everywhere. We were lucky because the fog wasn't too bad. We started out about 8am and there was only 1 car in the parking lot.
The trail started out good, but about half way it got really muddy, so we didn't go much further.
We had to check out at 11am and say goodbye to our cute little beach house!
Then we headed back down the coast to do a few things we missed. Our first stop was Munson Creek Falls. Its a short hike to an amazing waterfall.
After the Falls we started driving to Newport. Along the way we found a really good ice cream shop where they make their own ice cream. She even pointed out the cows in the pasture that gave the milk!
Once we got to Newport, we went to the bike rental place. We rode on the beach for 2 hours, in the fog some of the time, but it was really fun.
For Lisa's birthday I gave her some pretty little bracelets, but I thought it was only fair to get Kari and Tami some too. One of them was called 'beachwood', which I thought was a fun memento of our trip together.
Then we headed back to Eugene where we had a flight to catch back to Arizona the next morning. That evening we found a nice restaurant to eat at for Lisa's birthday. LaVerl had told us that he was buying, but we didn't get ready in time to find a super nice restaurant, but we found a great Mexican place within walking distance from the Hyatt where we were staying.
After dinner they brought Lisa a plate full of fried sopapillas with chocolate sauce and whipping cream and they sang Happy Birthday in Spanish! 
This little saying really sums up our whole trip. We loved seeing the Oregon coast, but the best part was spending time together!
