Oregon Coast with the Bryan and Toni Norton

James and I left on Friday afternoon to drive out to the beach and spend the weekend in the Norton's beach house with Toni and Bryan. We met the Nortons in Tillamook, and after having Chinese food for dinner we headed north to Rockaway. Friday night was spent in their home playing dice games, laughing, talking and watching 1/2 of the Marx Brother's movie, "Night at the Opera". There were no Trick-or-Treaters and so we had to eat the candy.

The next day the weather was cloudy, but still very beautiful. After breakfast, Toni and I worked on our EKG certification so that Adventist can become a known Chest Pain center while James and Bryan, with the help of Zeke, finished watching the Marx Brother's movie. Later, James and Bryan rode the scooters for over an hour. James was brave enough to wear Toni's helmet even though it was pink. He said, "I can't see what color it is, it doesn't bother me!" Toni and I walked (with Zeke the dog) down to the beach and watched the waves, then into St. Mary's chapel by the sea. On the way back we met up with James and Bryan and they gave us a ride back to the house.
















We drove down Highway 101, along the beach and then towards Cloverdale. We had to stop for an hour at a roadside farmers market because of an accident and then continued on to Cloverdale where we stopped at a pharmacy there that had a real soda fountain and we all had chocolate malts. Then we headed back to their beach house and from there home. It was a short visit to the beach, but a wonderful get-away with our friends the Nortons.
