We got up at 5:30 this morning to catch an early bus into Tillamook to grab another bus to Portland where we had to pick up our rental car. Unfortunately for us, I don’t think too many people catch the bus that early at our spot as the driver whipped by us without stopping at the bus stop. So, we had to wait until noon to catch the next bus. It was nice to have some additional time enjoying the coast. Mackenzie and I went for a walk along the beach and had some breakfast burritos before it started to pour rain.

It was a calming storm with thunder pounding off in the distance over the ocean. The noon bus arrived and we got a ride to Tillamook where we had to wait four more hours to catch the bus to Portland. The wait was nice as there was a farmers market next to the bus stop. We then got on our final bus of the day and headed to Portland.

At the rental car center, we had a bit of some trouble getting the car but once we were on the road, we had no hiccups. We’re now at the Bend Inn and Suites.

Happy dreams…
