First off, the drive to anywhere in Eugene, whether it be to the coast or just to work, is beautiful. Especially at this time of year, when the leaves are changing colors and falling from the trees. For the most part the highways are one way streets, but it's not bad, because the trees pretty much engulf you.
So when we finally got there, we took one look and knew that we would be spending a lot of our free time taking the drive to the coast again. I don't think I've seen a prettier beach before.
We paid $20 to take a tour of the sea lion caves, only to find out that the sea lions haven't been in the caves for about a month and a half, and they come seasonally or randomly. It was still a nice walk with an awesome view. The cave was really cool, but we were a little dissappointed that they don't let you go further down. Still very romantic ;)
We drove up north just a little further so that we could get onto the beach. It was so calming and peaceful.
Hello, CJ.
So then we both had a serious craving for crab legs. We walked up and down the streets of these littles towns for over an hour looking for ONE PLACE that had crab. How can you be a restaurant on the coast and not serve crab legs? Well finally we found a place that did, and it was cool because all the sea lions that we paid to see were actually just lounging on the docks right in front of our restaurant. Success!
CJ and I turn into monsters when we eat crab together. We don't talk, don't look at each other. We only focus at the task at hand, which is feasting on crab. And that we did.
So then we started the drive home, and our timing couldn't have been better, because it was the beginning of sunset. So we stopped at every possible stop and looked at the view and took some pictures.
So then to top off our amazing day, we carved pumpkins and baked pumpkin seeds. CJ's pumpkin turned out great, his is the monster on the left. Mine is the poor attempt at a spider web. It started out perfect, then somehow I lost my concentration and screwed it up. Oh and don't think we free-hand it, we totally cheat and buy the little carving kits with the picture booklet. I thought I could do the most difficult one. No. No, I could not.
