I was looking up the different state parks in Oregon since we now have a pass and discovered that there is a wonderful thing called Whale Week which takes place twice a year in honor of the migration of the Grey Whales to and from Alaska all along the Oregon Coast. We had so much fun watching a mom and baby whale swim around and trying to see all the whales that the 'expert' volunteers were seeing. When we got to Ecola the count was at 14 and when we left it was 37. Not bad for two hours. After the whales we drove down to Nehalem Bay State Park. It is kind of fun how much the Oregon Coast changes so quickly. Ecola/Cannon is very fine sand and flat, Nehalem has a lot of sand dunes that are crested with grass before going to the beach and ocean. It was a really fun day on the coast, I feel spoiled getting to go twice in a month.
