Photos from an epic 4th of July weekend to the Oregon coast. Beginning on the 4th of July, we drove south on Highway 101, stopping in Tillamook and at various points along the way before making it to The Whaler Motel in Newport to watch the fireworks and stroll along Nye Beach. The next morning, we made our way further south to Florence, where we took up residence and pitched our tents at Sutton Campgrounds for the next 2 nights. Explorations included trips into the nearby Oregon Dunes and the lovely vacation town of Florence itself.
